Watford Junction Travelcard question

How much is a WJ-Euston CDR?
Qjump says 6.10
But surely the hon Usenaut wanted to go the other way? Fares aren't
necessarily reversible, even though qjump shows Euston - WJ CDR as
also being 6.10
The price quoted looks suspiciously
like a WJ to Euston plus All Zones has been quoted rather than a
WJ to boundary station plus All Zones.
Qjump doesn't seem to understand "boundary zone 6" as an origin, so it
doesn't really answer the original question.
It shows WJ to off-peak travelcard at 9.80, which I think was already
mentioned on the thread; but that really doesn't prove anything much
about the converse journey.
It wasn't clear whether the traveller in question already held an
all-zones travelcard, in which case it seems plausible that the BZ6 to
WJ CDR would be a good choice even though qjump doesn't want to say
how much it is; or whether they just want to travel to WJ and back, in
which case a day travelcard would IME be more expensive than a
straight point to point ticket, as indeed is usually the case for a
pure point to point journey (although the difference can sometimes be
quite small).
