I'm an Surrey SWT user and the CDR/ODTC difference has always been
(until the cash tube fare increase) more than two zone 1 cash tube
fares and thus could never have been as little as 90p in 2001. It
seems Cambridge started very cheap and ended up more than SWT.

The difference (from Walton-on-Thames) is currently £3.50 (after
11:30), £4.00 (after 09:30) and £5.70 (before 09:30).

Yes, I thought the NSE Day Travelcard (originally Capitalcard) scheme was
to add two zone 1 tube fares, so have never understood the Cambridge
rates.

Can you get these fares from the nationalrail web site? From Cambridge I
can't, presumably because it only offers the discounted 'one'-only
travelcard instead.

The NR OJP should show the fares [although it won't sell them] - you might
be right about 'one' defaulting to their own offerings, but I was expecting
a CDR the to first station (Hadley Wood in your case) + separate travelcard
to be cheaper than the London Terminals travelcard.
