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

In boundary seasons are supposed to be changing to 'zonal fares' in
2010 according to the original announcement about 'non seasons'
back in late 2006. Of course that doesn't mean they'll become
travelcards, just that all seasons with a particular start zone and
destination zone will be the same price. The question is whether
they will still be printed with station names like the daily
tickets.

No doubt there will be some jumps or falls in price, and similar
levels of media hysteria as there was when 'disgusted of Surbiton'
saw his day return go up by 30% back in Jan 07...

The people of Surbiton are disgusted, AIUI, because they aren't that far
out but are in Zone 6.
