How very bizarre - those bought from NR stations only ever cover zones
1-6. It used to be the case that Railcard-discounted Day Travelcards
bought from LU stations had zones A-D (on the Met line) thrown in 'for
free' - these days if you want it with zones 7-9 from an LU ticket
office then it costs more (though is still Railcard discounted). I'm
not sure when this changed - perhaps in Nov '07 when London Overground
took over and zones 7-9 were introduced, perhaps it was in the fares
revision of January '08, I'm not sure.


Tickets from Amersham or Bushey can be purchased to all zones and are
issued on route RRR ZONES R789 allowing travel to 7-9. These are
railcard discountable.
