Counting the zones isn't always reliable or accurate, as you and

does.)

Have we established that this is the case, or is it just conjecture
based on the status quo pre-London Overground? I'd be surprised if it
were [the case], given the obvious and immediate potential for
confusion, annoyance and bad PR...

The TfL Single Fare finder suggests it is priced as such - and I am
led to believe (perhaps wrongly) that the data used by that facility
matches that of the fares tables in the Oyster database.

However I can imagine it is possible that there is an exception
written in to the system for season Travelcards (in this case those
that cover zones 2-4). However if (and that's a big if) there is such
an exception it presumably wouldn't make a difference to the assumed
zones travelled through with regards to daily capping rates.

But you're right to say there is a lot of conjecture flying around, a
fair bit of it coming from me! I need to get out there and try some of
these journeys out. I am unfortunately a bit tied up at the moment but
if I can I will.
