But why are these posters being given such prominence at stations
within the London zones - the evening restrictions irrelevant to any
pax setting out on their outbound journey at those stations (e.g.
there's no Super Off-Peak fares or Travelcards for journeys from
London stations into Waterloo, because all rail fares in London are
uniform across all TOCs).

Indeed I wonder why the yellow stickers with information about Super
Off-Peak evening restrictions have been stuck to SWT TVMs at places
like Vauxhall when they don't have any relevance - is it just to add
to the general confusion over fares?!


AFAICT Vauxhall should be expected to have posters up, because the
restrictions are relevant to people returning FROM Vauxhall TO 'a station
outside the zones', ie Vauxhall as the London Terminal.

If you look at the restrictions from the point of view of a passenger from
stations outside the zonal area [where SOP tickets are actually sold], you
would expect to see posters at Waterloo - Clapham Jn inclusive, because they
are the only stations which have the return restriction according to the
publicity - Earlsfield and Wansworth Town onwards are supposed to be OK
after all.

But the Yellow sticker itself is superfluous within the zones.as you cannot
buy SWT SOPs there...
