I wonder if TfL will eventually get rid of the magnetic strip tickets in

They still need to support paper tickets because they're issued all over
the railway system. *I have one in my pocket right now for Fort William
to U12.

What's U12?

Underground zones 1&2 - i.e. a destination LU station anywhere within
those zones (which are the two most central zones). The destination
actually appears as "Zone U12" on rail tickets (could also just be
"Zone U1", "Zone U1234", "Zone U1256" etc).
