Zones 1-D one-day travelcard purchase at a Southeastern Railwaystation

Is a Zone D travelcard actually an 'all-zones' travelcard - i.e. freedom to roam within zones A to D as well as in zones 1-6? Or a return to BZ6 with freedom to road just within Z1-6? It's a kludge to the zonal system which, I'm led to believe, originated because the relevant County Council(s) wouldn't contribute to the Travelcard "pot" (whereas Essex County Council *do*, hence the Central Line out to Epping being moved to Zone 6). Unlike other "out-boundary" Travelcards, the Amersham/Chesham/Watford (Met) ones *ARE* still valid when you get out (or back) to the far reaches of the Met, and valid to wander round the North West frontier as much as you like. That *ALSO* applies to such Travelcards when issued from NR Ticket Offices, a matter published in "Newsrail Express" several years ago. HTH, Barry |
