Why do you want Cheap Day Returns to vanish ?

Because on Oyster from next year a return from Zone 6
to Zone 2 will cost £2 (£1 each way).

How do NR CDRs compare with this?

Currently (M-F for prepay)

Surbiton(6) to Clapham Junction(2) a CDR is 3.50 and 2 x Oyster prepay
is 3.60 and a day TC Z2-6 is 4.00

Surbiton(6) to London Terminals (1) a CDR is 4.00 and 2 x Oyster prepay
is 7.00 and a day TC Z1-6 is 6.00

So I think that the income of the TOCs from 'shoppers' is going to fall
and the TOCs will want Ken to repay them and the CDR buyers who don't
use the Tube from London Terminals will feel themselves the victims of
sharp practice.

Buyers of single rail tickets will gain and I expect the TOCs will want
payment for that too. Prices from just outside the Zone 6 boundary will
probably look rather odd.
