Slightly off topic but related to cross London transfers. In January last year I bought a ticket from Horley to Plymouth split from Horley to Tiverton (orange card from TVM) and Tiverton to Plymouth (eticket) from Raileasy. The Horley to Tiverton ticket didn't have a cross or Maltese on it which I was perfectly happy with as it was £8 odd cheaper than the same journey if booked with GWR that did include the tube and obviously the oyster fare is only £1.60 so it made total sense but I found it pretty odd as I'd never come across this before except when tickets were marked "London Not Underground" for which this ticket wasn't.
Anyone know if theres a type of retail code used by the retailer to remove the + from the ticket to lower the fare or whether this was just an anomaly?
This gets back to the original post about paper roll tickets/E tickets now and the headache that cross london transfers cause when buying tickets when there is no delivery option available that can fulfil a ticket format accepted by TFL. Wouldn't it be a sensible idea for RDG to give passengers the option to opt out of the cross London transfer? The benefit would be far easier national rail ticketing delivery and also save people from paying for a journey that some don't actually need, For instance transferring between Euston and Kings X/St Pancras where it can be walked a lot quicker than taking the tube.
