Then there's Dartford. It's hard for customers on the 3 north Kent
parallels to get from one line to the other without going back to
Lewisham which might not be in their zone. Is it permitted to change
trains at either Dartford or Lewisham on a travelcard if you promise
not to leave the station?

No, zonal tickets have to cover the entirety of your journey. You
can't go from West Drayton to Upminster with just a zone 6
travelcard, even with appropriate promises

That's why the *******s have made North London Line stations alternate
between two different zones to prevent someone going from Richmond to North
Woolwich on just a single zone ticket.
