Cutty Sark to Goodge Street Oyster Fare question

Pemberton01

I was in London yesterday and made a journey at 5 p.m. from Cutty Sark station in Greenwich to Goodge Street. It was DLR from Cutty Sark to Bank, then a change there to Tottenham Court Road, and a further change there to Goodge Street. Touched in at Cutty Sark, touched out at Goodge Street. Can someone tell me what the fare would be at my travel time of 5 p.m.? It's just I don't live in London, at Goodge Street it didn't tell me on the way out how much was left on my Oyster and I'm wondering if I've enough credit on my Oyster for my next day trip to London. It's an unregistered Oyster so I can't check from my home in the Midlands. I've looked at the TFL single fare finder and can't work out if the cost was £2.20 or £4.10. Thanks.

Should be £2.20 as you used only TfL (i.e. not National Rail) services for the journey.

Thanks for reply

Should you not have touched out/in at Bank when switching from DLR to the tube? You might have unresolved journeys to contend with if this is the case.


Agree the fare would have been £2.20

I don't believe this is necessary. They are behind a shared gateline, with no interchange readers.

You don't need to / shouldn't tap in or out when switching from tube to DLR or vice versa.

Be cautious! For the journey quoted this advice is accurate BUT it is not a general rule!

At certain other interchanges (eg Tower Hill/Tower Gateway or Canary Wharf tube to dlr) which involve physically leaving one station/entering another you certainly do need to touch out/touch in. Similarly if changing from National Rail to dlr or tube or vice versa.

You can assign an Oyster card to an Oyster Online account, allowing you to check your journey history, without visiting London and without registering the card at a ticket office.

...as the fare is set by TfL.

There are many journeys for which you could use National Rail services, yet only pay the TfL-set fare.

Likewise, there are journeys for which the reverse is true, e.g. Farringdon-Wimbledon is set at the NR fare, even if you take the Circle/District Lines.

No; there is no gateline between DLR and LU services at Bank.

(Anyone changing to the W&C Line will pass standalone validators, which are best ignored!)

...if there's no gateline between them, as in the case at Bank. But you can't apply this to all journeys.
