According to a new leaflet "Ticket Changes from 11th June 2006",

The new timetable starts then.

from that date "the return portion of Cheap Day return, One (sic) Day
Travelcard (off-peak), Family Travelcard and DaySave tickets are no
longer valid on services departing from [King's Cross and Moorgate]
between 1630 and 1901 Monday to Friday.

Are Network Card discounted tickets still OK?

Similar restrictions have been introduced to Peterborough and on the
Thameslink route to Bedford.

MML still accept off-peak Travelcards in the evening rush, so this may
shift even more of the Luton/Bedford crowd off Thameslink and onto MML.

The leaflet is at

I can't see how they can make the restrictions stick in the case of trains
which call at stations like Alexandria Palace or Mill Hill Broadway. CDRs
are val;id for break of journey, and ODTCs are valid for multiple journeys.
Journeys from Central London to these stations (or others in Zone C on the
leaflet) are unrestricted in the evening peak, as aqre journeys from Zone C
northwards - all you have to do is to break your journey at a Zone C
station. Does it count as break of journey if you resume your journey on the
same train? Alter4natively you could of course split tickets at a Zone C
station, though your train both ways would have to call at the station where
you split your ticket.
