Fares fair 2
A previous post commented on anomalies in the fares system on my commuter line to London.
A complaint was that the single fare is significantly more than half the return - penalising people who can't buy a return for one reason or another.
A new example of this is between St. Albans and West Hampstead, a major interchange point.
The return fare from St. Albans is £15. The single fare from St. Albans is £8.80 - 59% of the return. And the single from West Hampstead is £9.10, 61% of the return fare.
An explanation is being requested.

"Our single tickets are not meant to be 50% of the cost of a return ticket. Return tickets are discounted to offer a greater saving to the customer. Purchasing a return ticket is meant to be a cheaper option than purchasing two single tickets which is why single tickets are priced at more than 50% of the cost of the return ticket for the same journey."
It's still not clear why the single ticket in one direction is more than that in the other.
