using
TfL (Tube, DLR, London Overground), starting outside Zone 1 and
ending
inside Zone 1
Off-Peak Oyster single fares apply at all other times

I can't see the text you quoted anywhere on the web page the URL of

the evening peak.

It's TfL's "new this year" scheme and has been discussed here, the
"Fare Changes 2011" of course has been moved or removed It was at
