How are routes and fares calculated?
We take the quickest way between your two stations, preferring a route with fewer interchanges where the times are close. Fares come from the operator's published table where one has been sourced, and a journey crossing networks is charged by each operator and summed; where no published table is available the fare is an estimate and is labelled as such. Travel times are derived from published running times where available, estimated from distance elsewhere, and exclude waiting.
