It does NOT say that a zone 1-6 travelcard will cover travel on the
Elizabeth Line as far as Heathrow. It's well written as smoke and mirrors
but it offers no prices to Heathrow using travelcards, nor can I see any
reference to Freedom Passes. So what those of us outside London who would
expect to buy a day travelcard and not use Oyster are supposed to do is
entirely unstated.

Errr what does "with travelcards that cover Zone 6 able to be used on
services to Heathrow." mean then?

Probably what you think it does, but the release seems to me to have
been written very badly or very carefully, I'm not sure which.

It suffers from being a press release about the Mayor's infamous "fare
freeze" as much as an announcement about Elizabeth Line fares.

Much of the wriggling is because the Elizabeth Line (as discussed here
wrt roundels) is "neither fish nor flesh nor fowl" when it comes to
being a tube, an Overground or a National Rail line, having as it does a
station at Heathrow which both is and isn't in Z6 depending on the
ticket you buy.
