Depends on the route. I've found them to be less prevalent
near London.

There isn't for Richmond to London.

That's a fare that falls within the London zonal fares regime *-
since January 2007 all National Rail fares in the London zones,
regardless of TOC, are priced set according to a zonal fare scale
(though still issued on a point-to-point basis).

The only tickets available for such journeys are Anytime Singles,
Anytime Day Returns and Off-Peak Returns (aka CDRs) - plus of course

Thanks but I said " Off-peak Single ?

That was the point I was trying to make - within the London zones
there is no such thing as an Off-peak Single. Also, as Roland Perry
states elsewhere the Off-peak Single is a rare fare near London -
indeed I'd say it's a rare fare for journeys wholly within the south
east (i.e. the old Network South East area).

I noticed that the boundary zone 6 extension was an Anytime Single which
seems strange given the ODTC itself was Off-peak

I grant you that that might seem counter-intuitive, but as there
aren't any Off-peak Single fares for such journeys then it's not
possible for you to be issued with one! *If* you were making a return
journey then you would have been issued with an Off-Peak Day return.


So the ticket was boundary zone 6 to, in fact, Walton-on-Thames, by
definition wholly outside the zones.


OK, understood - but the same situation applies w.r.t. fares for this
journey, i.e. the only available fares are Anytime Single, Anytime Day
Return and Off-Peak Day Return, there is no Off-Peak Single fare.
