Thought people would like a brief summary of the fares changes on NXEA.
The changes are put down to trying to encourage people to travel off peak, and are justified because of the recent improvements, which includes the cleaning of trains :roll: (and to pay for all the NXEA rebrand of course)
Main changes are:
Open Single and Return fares increased by 10%
Cheap Day Returns from London:
No change in morning restrictions.
Evening Restriction (i.e not valid from LST or Stratford in peak) extended to 1629-1834 (currently 1659-1815) - Easement in place for 1634 to Braintree
Off Peak Travelcards.
No Change in Morning Restrictions
New evening restriction to be introduced to be same as CDR above.
Off Peak Travelcards for journeys entireley within TC Zone not included
Savers
Arrival in London not permitted until 10.00 (currently 10.15)
Morning departure from London not permitted before 09.30
Evening peak departure restricted between 16.29 to 18.34 (with an easement for the 16.36 to Braintree)
Anglia Plus increases by £1 to £13
New CDRs in Anglia Plus area for longer distance priced at £12.90, but does not include bus travel in big towns
Stansted Airport to London SOS increased from £16.00 to £17.00. Cheap Day Return and Off-Peak One Day Travelcard withdrawn, but CDR retained in the opposite direction (i.e. London to Stansted) for meeters and greeters.
There are some other changes for individual stations for fares which either didn't exist before or have further restrictions on, but that mainly involes Acle, Lingwood, Open fares from GE Outer station to Gatwick, GE Metros to Stanford Le Hope area, Local fares in the Breckland Line and from Shenfield to March.
