An outside London ODTC is based on the travelcard price
plus whatever the rail company charges to the boundary
of Zone 6. The ODTC1-6 has gone up by 30p. The Zone 1
tube single doesn't even come in to the equation.


There are still singles to ZONE U1 LONDN, which presumably will be
based on that. There are also returns, but those (last time I
checked) were the same price as the Peak Travelcard.

The difference, incidentally, is that YP Railcard discount is
available on singles/returns to ZONE U1 LONDN but not at all on Peak
Travelcards (not even on the rail part), so last time I did a peak
journey it was on one of those.


Not so, off-peak at least. On Friday, for example, I bought a Saver
Return from Cambridge to Underground Zones 1 & 2 with Network Card
discount for £17.65 to travel to Putney yesterday and back today.
