When did this happen?

At the January 2011 fares change - it happened along with the withdrawal of
the matching z2-6 and z2-9 Day Travelcards (and people did make some fuss at
the time).

The internal TfL blurb apparently said it was withdrawn in order to fund the
'evening (1600-1900) off-peak into zone 1' fare offer on the Tube (actually
applies to any journey at the TfL rate, but not the NR rate) - though this
doesn't seem to be promoted very well.

The withdrawal of the z2-6/9 caps & matching Day Travelcards does seem
somewhat at odds from Bozza who had made great play of saying he wouldn't be
a "zone 1 Mayor" (though I suppose one can argue that the evening off-peak
fare offer described above does benefit those from outer London who want to
come into the centre in the evening - though only if they can do so by Tube,
or on a rail line that charges Tube fares, i.e. swathes of south London
don't benefit).
