Default Rail network in London to adopt zonal fares

Will zonal rail tickets show origin/destination stations like they do at
present and therefore a return be A to B & back to A only? Or could I
buy a Zone 1 to 5 Rail only CDR say to go from Victoria to East Croydon
and later in the day Bromley South back to Victoria?


As I understand it, they are zonal fares, rather than zonal tickets.
So you still buy a ticket from, eg East Croydon to Clapham Junction,
but you know that it will be the same far as a ticket from Bromley
South to Lewisham, from Chingford to Bethnal Green or from High Barnet
to Camden Town.

That doesn't mean that the tickets can be used for different journeys
in the same zone - that would be what Travelcards are for...
