Actually, no... The current Anytime (peak) single is £5.00, the Anytime
(peak) return is £9.80, but the Offpeak return is £6.50. So typically, to
get their wonderful reduction they are comparing a return with a single.

Did I read correctly that off-peak singles and returns on paper are
disappearing, thus causing a LUL-style "penalty for not using Oyster"
situation?

I'm reading it that singles will still be there, but the same price, eg
SWT's release only says that 'offpeak returns are being withdrawn' implying
peak and offpeak singles will still be there.

It would be madness on the 2nd Jan if single paper tickets weren't
available, and they'll have to have a parallel system of paper tickets
anyway for journeys into and out of 'London'.
