Verified Rep - BR Fares
Most journeys that can be made on Oyster also have fares showing in the National Rail fares database using special ticket types PAP and POP. E.g. for Waterloo to Ewell West, on the relevant BR Fares page http://www.brfares.com/#!fares?orig=WAT&dest=EWW they are shown as follows:
But I was wondering, does anybody know whether these are always supposed to be there, is there a defined process for adding them, or does it just depend on somebody from a TOC remembering to update them?
I received a complaint from a BR Fares user that the site doesn't show the available Oyster fares from Ilford to Gatwick:

The fares definitely exist; you can see them on LT Fares (which uses TfL data):
http://www.ltfares.com/!fares?orig=NRIFD&dest=NRGTW
But should they be there in the National Rail data and showing on BR Fares? Whose job is it to add them?
