So is the coding on a paper ticket not smart enough to establish
that a journey is made across zone 1. It seems pretty
fundemental to me. If you buy a zone 2 ticket at say Chalk Farm
then travel to Vauxhall then you must have crossed zone 1.


Chalk Farm - Camden Town (Northern)
Camden Town - Kentish Town (Northern)
Kentish Town - West Hampstead (Silverlink)
West Hampstead - Richmond (Silverlink)
Richmond - Vauxhall (SWT)
-- all in zones 2/3/4. Or via Willesden Jn - Clapham Jn in
zones 2/3.


We're talking about singles - you can't use an LU single on SWT or
between West Brompton & Clapham Junction. There's no way to check
where someone using a Z234 Travelcard started.


Fair point.

Basically it looks like now you can use multizone non-Z1 singles to
get anywhere within west, north or east London legally


Do you really mean "legally"? ... or just that the gates don't spot the
illegality?
