Question: would someone who currently has an SER annual season ticket

were
introduced at SER-served stations?

Either the same or less. You'd have a choice between renewing the
season, or using PAYG each day if that works out cheaper.

Thanks to the "zonal fares" project though, lots of the Southeastern rail
seasons have been ramped up enormously to match (60/70% increase in
point-to-point seasons in some cases). PAYG would have been a *lot* more
expensive if this hadn't happened. Now the prices will be much closer...

But of course child-rate fares are now much lower, so we can subsidise all
those teenage vandals who wreck the interiors of the trains. Welcome to the
crazy world of TfL.
