I got this wrong. *As has been pointed out - this is a route that
currently accepts payg

Yes you did get it wrong.

If the entry touch is between 06:30 and 09:30 or 16:00 to 19:00 (M-F)
the fare will be £1.80 (TfL fare is cheaper than NR fare of £1.90)

Incorrect - the peak charge will be £2.30 as E&C to Kentish Town is a
Z12 journey. *Off peak the charge will be £1.80.

All other times - will be charged the Off-Peak NR fare - £1.50

No it will not. *£1.50 is the NR Zone 1 charge that can only apply
between Charing Cross - W'loo East / LOB / Cannon St and Waterloo -
Vauxhall and I suppose Charing Cross - Wloo East - Waterloo -Vauxhall
(and variants thereof).

Sorry to be quite so argumentative but this stuff has to be quoted as
accurately as possible (and I hereby guarantee that I've just made a
mistake by making that claim). *I have constructed a matrix of all of
the fares on the three tariffs for the various zone combinations so I'm
pretty confident I've got the basics correct. *Some of the route options
avoiding Zone 1 are horrendous though - I can't fathom some of those.
Example was Z2-6 Travelcard onOyster
charge would be for Z1
I agree - would be charged TfL fare in this case
£1.80 at all times

OK - I concede defeat on all counts and on all examples. *You work for
TfL and in this particular area and you're getting it wrong and so am I?

tears up application for priv rate PAYG card

If I can't understand it then no one can.

It is complicated. I don't work for Fares & Ticketing.
I can confirm that the fares quoted by the Single fare finder are what
will be charged on 2 Jan though.
I will not post again until I have had a good night's sleep :-)
