Could it be they didn't sell a boundary ticket but a ticket from that
station instead and the fare is calculated differently?

As Freedom Passes are treated as Season Tickets for the purposes of
issuing Ticket Extensions, the extension is generally cheaper than a
ticket from the boundary station.

Looking at Section K3 of the NFM, a Cheap Day Return from Bounday Zone 6
to St Albans (City) is £3.30 undiscounted (£2.20 with a Railcard)

From Section K4 (Off Peak Day/Family/Weekend Travelcard Excess Fares)
it's £4.50 undiscounted (£2.95 with a Railcard). [That being the
difference between an Off-Peak Travelcard from St Albans to All Zones,
and an All Zones Off Peak Travelcard).

From QJump.co.uk, a CDR from Elstree and Borehamwood to St Albans is
£4.40 undiscounted (£2.90 with a Railcard).

Thanks Barry, good to know Elstree & B weren't ripping me off
