    This isn't the real fare and we presume you posted this as a joke judging by the laughing emojis. As you can see the real screenshot for the cost of a weekday anytime single ticket is this:

    📣 Today saw the very first, brand new #Class717 run on a special preview/testing service from Moorgate to Gordon Hill. We’re working hard to get these trains, stations and our people ready for introduction this autumn. These will replace 40 year old trains on the Moorgate line.

    🚆 🙌 We’re thrilled to say that our first Class 379 train went into service yesterday. This forms part of an additional fleet of 30x Class 379 trains supporting significant improvements in readiness for an improved December timetable later this year.

    The 14th Class 717 entered all-day passenger service on routes to Moorgate today. The new fleet roll-out is now two-thirds complete and we’ll be retiring the Class 313 from the route very soon.
