Day Return or Day Travelcard will change. You cannot use it to
leave
London Waterloo, Vauxhall, Queenstown Road or Clapham Junction to
stations outside London Zones 1-6 between 16:00 and 19:00, Monday
to
Friday.

Seems easy to get round in most cases by taking the first train to
Richmond, Wimbledon or Surbiton and then the train you want.

Well that's definitely a logical interpretation of what they've
published,
assuming changing at any of those stations is practical - as others
have
suggested it's a lot of hassle if you are heading to somewhere like
Southampton or Portsmouth.

Indeed, first train to Surbiton then first to Woking may be a bit much
trouble to save 20% or so but the idea may be useful if you
unexpectedly have to get home and don't want to shell out extra.
