This BBC London webpage include a fares table comparing the current and
future single (SDS), standard return (SDR) and cheap day return (CDR)
fares between a number of stations.

I think some of these fares are just plain wrong: e.g. How is one supposed
to get from East Croydon to Harrow & Wealdstone on National Rail without
crossing Zone 2?

The staff briefing that ATOC have produced is just as bad, I'm sad to
say, with various stations mentioned therein being rezoned!

Examples:

1. SDS from Orpington (Zone 6) to Nunhead (Zone 2) is the same price
as the SDS from Chingford (Zone 6) /sic/ to Cambridge Heath (Zone 2).

Erm...Last time I checked Chingford was in Zone *5*. If they wanted a
"one" station in Zone 6, they'd need Turkey Street or Enfield Lock.

2. CDR from Purley (Zone 6) to London Terminals (Zone 1) is the same
price as the CDR from Surbiton (Zone 6) to Woolwich Arsenal (Zone 3) via
Zone 1 and changing at Waterloo Main Line and Waterloo East.

3. SDR from East Croydon (Zone 5) to Mill Hill Broadway (Zone 3) /sic/
via Zone 1 and Thameslink /sic/, is the same price as the SDR from
Dagenham Dock (Zone 5) to London Terminals (Zone 1).

Two problems he First of all, Mill Hill Broadway is in Zone 4,
secondly Thameslink has been First Capital Connect since 1st April.

4. SDS from Hanwell (Zone 4) to New Cross Gate (Zone 2) is the same
price as the SDS from Oakleigh Park (Zone 4) to U1234, i.e. the higher
Train Tube Zonal Fare.
