I thought all in-London train fares were moving to a zonal charging basis,

Paper tickets (including seasons) are now priced bases on the zones
they pass through, but the ticket itself is still point-to-point, and
I believe will remain so.

For example, a Crystal Palace-London Terminals monthly season costs
£73, the same as any other rail-only season that passes through Zones
1-3, but is restricted to only that one route. For comparison, a Z1-3
Travelcard is £116, but is valid on all routes in those zones (and the
tube and buses).

But what will the price of paper tickets go up to if PAYG is
introduced? That's the main consideration, and we don't seem to know
yet.
