Really?? What happens to our CDRs that are substantially cheaper during
off-peak periods during the daytime?


Isn't it best to have a level playing field right across the Capital when
it comes to a fares structure? CDRs don't exist on the buses, tube etc.,
why should those using NR within the Travelcard zones travel at reduced
costs?

On the trains I use, I see about half of the people passing through the
ticket barriers where I am (Bexley station) have grey NR season tickets, not
Travelcards.


Probably because most work close to London Bridge, Cannon Street etc. and
walk the rest of the way. Many probably drive from home to their local
station, pay exorbitant car parking charges when using a local bus and
paying the extra for a Travelcard might work out cheaper.
