It's not available from the automatic machines, but the ticket
seller is able to issue it as a One Day Travelcard, as long as they

set the origin station to Amersham.

However, am I right in saying this only works because Crayford is
within the zonal area, ie you wouldn't be able to do the same from
a station outside the zones...

Outside of the zonal area a separate CDR would have to be purchased
to the boundary.

I think his point is that you _can_ buy a Day Travelcard from outside the
zones. That only has Zones 1-6 validity, though.

How would I get a ticket from Cambridge to Chesham, for example? The
National Rail Enquiries web site seems to think Chesham is Kirkham and
Wesham, with predictably ludicrous results. It refuses to offer any
Underground Zones other than 1 and 2, despite there being perfectly good
fares to them.
