From the May timetable change, GWR have made all of the trains on the North Downs Line reservable and introduced 'GWR only' advance fares for journeys from Reading to stations beyond Guildford and from stations west of Guildford to Gatwick Airport.
In common with all the other reservable trains on their network, the trains are currently marked as "Reservations Compulsory".
Advance singles from Reading to Dorking Deepdene appear to range from £5.00 to £10.70.
Advance singles from Reading to Reigate appear to range from £13.60 to £39.80. An off-peak day single is £17.60 and an anytime single is £26.00.
Advance singles from Reading to Gatwick Airport appear to range from £8.10 to £27.20
I assume the pricing of the Reading to Reigate flow has gone awry.
There doesn't, at this stage, appear to be any removal of the existing off-peak / anytime walk up fares or a hike in those fares.
However, one issue is that it will be more difficult to get through advance fares from 'West' destinations through to the route if the quotas don't match up - in particular, I guess it will be difficult to get through advance fares onto the last Reading to Gatwick train in the future as quotas tend not to be made available for late night trains pending confirmation of engineering work.
