Most certainly. My fastest route to work, from Forest Hill to Tolworth,
was almost certainly Forest Hill - London Bridge - Waterloo - Tolworth.

This would need a zone 1-5 ticket.

By going from Forest Hill - East Croydon - Clapham - Tolworth, I saved
over £30 a month and only needed a zone 2-5 ticket.

Is there no point to point rail fare for this? Buying a Travelcard
whne you don't need to use buses or the tube is not a good deal.

Also did you try Forest Hill - Crystal Palace - Clapham Jn rather than
East Croydon?
