A colleague of mine is travelling to Heathrow, off-peak, one weekday in February.
I told her she can now use Contactless throughout, and that the single fare would be £16.10 if she uses the TfL Rail service (not Heathrow Express).
Out of curiousity, as she is worried that a missed 'tap' somewhere en route might cause her to be charged a maximum fare, we researched National Rail Enquiries for the paper fare... which appears to be a stonking £37.10 !!!
On further interrogation of the app, it seems to default to showing only fares that include the use of Heathrow Express trains from Paddington. How do I get it to display the fare for using only TfL Rail services ? I've tried putting Southall or West Drayton into the 'via' field, but it still shows the much higher fare.
Any ideas ?
