Thanks to MatSav on uk.railway for the heads up, this rather good
offer has come to my attention - I thought it deserved a thread of its
own, so I hope he doesn't mind me starting this one (which is x-posted
to both uk.transport.london and uk.r).

National Rail are running a promotion for Oyster card and Freedom Pass
holders for days out from London - with substantially discounted Off-
Peak Day Return fares, and in some cases Off-Peak period Return fares,
to a pretty wide range of destinations as far away as Bristol,
Cardiff, Norwich and Crewe (the last on LM trains only). The offer
runs for a month from Sat 26 June (tomorrow) until Sun 25 July.

The return fares are priced at the following levels: £5, £10, £15 or
£20. The journey is supposed to start from a London terminus station.

What is most puzzling about this offer is that all the TOCs local to
London seem to be involved except just one - South Eastern. Why?
