That's the end of the Waterloo and City, and its 9+ million passengers a
year, then.

Not to mention all of the other short hops of a few stations on the tube
that commuters make daily to get between mainline terminals and their
work.

Still a tiny percentage compared to the number who commute in from the
suburbs on the tube.

But presumably those going from mainline terminals to their work
have through tickets from their home NR station to their destination
(or its zone), and don't pay the exorbitant "single" fares.

You obviously haven't looked at the fares.

If you buy a daily ticket from outside of London to "zone 1" the add on fare
IS the exorbitant "single" fare, so no-one with an oyster card would ever
buy it!
