Got the impression the gripper wasn't familiar with the format at
all. What I had to do was explain how it was a combined 'mainlline
return' + 'all zones travelcard'. Valid in all zones, but then
didn't they used to just read R1256 or Z1256 (haven't got an old
one to hand) - might the numbering system have added to the
confusion at that time?

They still say R1256 Zones, or did in May anyway.

Ah, [after some delay while searches previous posts] - I see Paul Corfield
reported the T/Cs 'destination' was changing on 6th Sept, from eg 'R1256'
to 'London Zones 1-6', aimed at clarification of what it actually meant.

Haven't used one myself yet. Anyone know if the change actually happen as
planned?

Was that meant to be for both inboundary and outboundary types? The Off-Peak
Day Travelcard I bought on Friday (23rd October) shows "Between LONDON KINGS
X * & R1256 ZONES" Route ANY PERMITTED.
