Ticket offices sometimes sell you a zonal ticket when there is a
cheaper non-Underground version available; worth checking for this,

Equally, they'll sometimes do the opposite!

Like the time I was sold a ticket only valid on "The Other Railway"
from one of the Greenwich stations to Vauxhall.

You can get there without going on the underground, but it's tortuous
and takes about twice as long, so I wound up having to buy a zonal
ticket in addition!

I suppose there is always the possibility the ticket was valid to go on
the underground, but I think it unlikely.
