Request ID: FOI-0339-1920
Date published: 17 May 2019
You asked
Please tell me the fares for standard class return journeys travelling midweek using the same pay as you go Oystercard between 1 March 2017 and 30 November 2018. If the fares changed, I would like to know the date of the change.
1. Leaving Wimbledon at 1.00pm travelling to Southfields
Returning on the same day at 4.30pm from Southfields travelling back to Wimbledon.
2. Leaving Wimbledon at 1.00pm travelling to Earlsfield
Returning on the same day at 4.30pm from Earlsfield travelling back to Wimbledon.
In both cases above, based on an Oystercard having already been used for 2 separate tram journeys on the day of travel and having sufficient credit.
If you require any clarification, please let me know. I look forward to hearing from you within the statutory time limit.
Thank you.

I can confirm that we hold the information you require, as set out below.
The following information is based on the adult PAYG fare. Using the tram will not affect these fares. TfL PAYG fares for the journeys in question are the same for 2017 and 2018. However, National Rail fares increased on 2nd January 2018 (and also on 2nd January 2019).
Question 1: Leaving Wimbledon at 1.00pm travelling to Southfields: £1.50 for both 2017 and 2018. Returning on the same day at 4.30pm from Southfields travelling back to Wimbledon: £1.70 for both 2017 and 2018.
Question 2: Leaving Wimbledon at 1.00pm travelling to Earlsfield: £1.90 in 2017 and £2.00 in 2018. Returning on the same day at 4.30pm from Earlsfield travelling back to Wimbledon: £2.10 in 2017 and £2.20 in 2018.
