Good points. The new SWT leaflet says "on trains leaving after 11am or
in the case of stations further away from London, on trains arriving in
London after 12 noon"

This is exactly the same as the CDR wording except that that uses
"9:30" and "10:00 or after" so there should be no difficulty in doing
the one if they can do the other and ignoring the 'further away'
qualification.
The Fare checker just needs to know if a particular ticket is valid on
a particular train AFAICT. I looked for anomolies with trains pausing
or on circuitous routes "to London" but all seemed to be either wholly
within the zones and so irrelevant or as trivial as the 1058 Guildford
via Epsom arr 1211, 1102 direct arr 1140.


There is another apparent anomaly though - having announced that _all_
trains 'towards' London are in the new regime, they don't seem to be, eg
Eastleigh to Basingstoke is still on the original CDR set up all day. There
must be another rule about distance too.
