... Starting today, Kennington station is switching from a Zone 2 station to a mixed Zones 1 and 2 station, in readiness for the opening of the Northern line extension. ...
... The change also benefits people in Kennington, as they now would only pay for a Zone 1 fare to go into central London, instead of Zones 1 & 2. A typical adult single pay as you go trip into Zone 1 will be reduced from £3 in the peak to £2.40. ...
... Although TfL could have put Kennington station in Zone 1 rather than into a combined Zone 1/2, that would have raised fares for Kennington residents travelling south, so the combined zone agreement ensures fares won’t go up because of the change. ...
... As more people return to the transport network, changing Kennington to a Zone 1/2 station will benefit local residents, ensuring that they get the best value fare no matter which direction they are travelling in.” ...
