I think the correct approach is to have PAYG as far as the terminal
point on the inner suburban 'all stations' services. So far, Watford
Junction meets that criterion and spots like Slough, St. Albans,
Welwyn Garden City, Hertford (maybe both ways), Shenfield, Grays,
Dartford, Sevenoaks, Windsor (maybe both ways again) might be a good
idea. Of course, on some routes, there are no inner-suburban only
services. On some routes, such as Southern, the inner suburban
services already only run in the zones and so nothing would need to be
done.

Ah but what is an "inner suburban all stations" service? Southern have all
station services running as far as Horsham (a double complication as it's on
two routes) and SWT have similar to Guildford, again a station served by
many routes.
