Friend is coming with husband who stays in a travelogue in Enfield lock. She will be taking the train from Enfield Lock train station to Tottenham Hale then transferring to the tube into central London.

National rail says the fare from Enfield lock to Tottenham hale is £4.20 yet TFL say it's £2.60. Who is right?
Thanks

    National Rail is £4.20 if you buy a paper ticket, the site also quotes from £2.80 for contactless/oyster for a peak ticket or £2.40 at other times, as does TFL site.

    Your friend doesn't need to buy a separate ticket from EL to TH, they can use contactless or oyster to travel all the way to Central London for £5.10 peak or £3.10 off-peak.

    When using Oyster or contactless the fare is £2.40 off peak and £2.80 peak.

    Cash fares are double that, i.e. £4.80 and £5.60 respectively.

    Why doesn't she just use a through ticket, either Oyster, Contactless or cash?

    Enfield Lock to central London is £5.10 peak and £3.10 off peak when using Oyster of contactless. As above, cash fares are double that.

    Nice autocorrect from Travelodge:
