1-6 CDR including Tube gbp9.60. Why set such nonsensical fares? An
ODTC would be substantially cheaper.

It's not nonsense - you've just misread it.

The price you've quoted is for an standard day return, *not* a cheap
day return. This would only be issued for travel before 0930 on
weekdays. A zones 1-6 CDR Train/Tube fare is £5.70.


No, the price he quoted is for a CDR - it's in the "cheap day returns"
column. The price for a peak zone 1-6 train-tube return, in the column
immediately to the left of that one, would be £13.20.
