In the light of Barry's info, I'd clarify that by saying they are
no longer valid on the NR part of the route once they have been
used to return to the origin. As the barriers will have normally
eaten it, using the zonal validity again in the same day will
require the user to avoid the barriers.

That isn't very different from the new situation with London
Terminals tickets at King's Cross platforms 9-11. The tickets are
eaten if put in the barrier but staff will open a gate for you if
you ask.

At some point since I wrote this they seem to have changed the barriers at
King's Cross. They now return London Terminals tickets, I was told by a
staff member when I asked to retain my ticket by him opening the gate as I
have since last year. When I put my ticket in this morning, it was indeed
returned to me.
