It's got nothing to do with residency, it's about whether or not the ODTC +
return journey to the zone edge option will still exist. Unless Oyster is
going to be rolled in the provinces then folks out there will still need to
be able to buy this Travelcard option.

You mean to avoid paying for the same small section of the journey
twice. An interesting point that I had not thought of. But will the
discount that applies when an Oyser card is used balance this out?
No.


So how much is an Travelcard for zones 1-2 when purchased as an add-on
to an off-peak rail ticket?


There is no such thing. There are only out-boundary Travelcards.


There must be a price differential between (1) buying a ticket from a
place outside London to the London terminus and (2) buying a ticket
from the same place to Zones 1-2. That was the question. I do not
know all the terminology.
