I would try and find a "not gatwick express" version of the all-zone

Sadly, there isn't one.

The trainline is showing me an off-peak all zone travelcard from
Gatwick at an undiscounted price of £10 using Southern and £16.80
using Gatwick Express. For some reason it's not showing the FCC one,
which I thought was £11.00 but my memory may be at fault.
