What are we supposed to do when off-peak paper tickets in London are
abolished next year?


They haven't said that, they've said offpeak day return (CDR) paper
tickets will not be available for travel within the zones. They
haven't said there will be 'no paper tickets at all'. They'll still
be needed to travel outside London, and I'm expecting when the NR
fares changes are published they'll be selling paper offpeak
travelcards in lieu of CDRs. The price is only marginally higher
normally.


Update today, as far as I can see the new NR fares are now uploaded for
dates beyond Jan 2nd.

Using as an example Surbiton - Waterloo[NR], the options seem to be:

Anytime SIngle £5.00
Anytime Day return £9.80
Anytime Travelcard £14.80
Offpeak Travelcard £7.50 - same as daily Oyster PAYG cap

The current Offpeak day return (CDR ) was £6.50 (but has disappeared
AFAICT).

Any other interpretations out there?
