I notice the default fare for this journey (according to the TfL single fare finder) is £2.
The 'alternative' fares involve changing at Vauxhall or Waterloo, in both cases this attracts the premium charged to a NR+TfL journey (ie, when using an NR red route plus non-NR mode and involving Sone 1)
I am guessing that the default journey assumes you change at West Brompton / Edgware Road? If so, as it is the default journey I do not need to use the pink reader, is that right? If I do use the pink reader, will it have no effect? Is there any advantage or disadvantage in using it?
I also note that the TfL journey planner suggests* not only the option described above, but also changing at West Hampstead is listed as taking a similar amount of time. This involves going through gatelines at West Hampstead, would that be an issue?
Another option suggested* by the TfL journey planner involves changing at Shepherd's Bush and at Bond Street. Again, Bond Street involves going through gatelines, so the same questions apply there.
(* when specifying via West Brompton)
