That said, all this could lead to an interesting fares anomaly, in that
an off-peak travelcard and a peak single back, or a SDR and an off-peak
travelcard bought separately, may now be cheaper than the available
through ticket.


OK, how does one go about getting one of those Oyster things?


Oyster cards have a very limited applicability to the issue under
discussion. There is a limited amount of Pre-Pay acceptance on the FCC
lines across zone 1 for Thameslink and Moorgate / KX - Finsbury Park for
the Cambridge / Peterborough lines. The only other ticket in Oyster
format would be a Travelcard based season which is not affected by the
new restrictions.
