There's one of these posters displayed on platform 14 at Clapham
Junction, near the bottom of the footbridge. Noticed it on Tuesday but
forgot to post here about it. I'm surprised nothing has been said by TfL
yet (and certainly asking around the office today none of the usual
suspects knew about it either).

Cheers

I'm surprised that no-one has referred to this yet, though it doesn't
seem to appear anywhere on the Southern (or any other) website(s).

I've seen a poster at a Southern station, which has been there at
least a week, that states that from 2 January 2006, when new fares are
introduced, the London's Zone 6 will be extended to include the
following stations to the south of Croydon and Sutton:

Banstead and Epsom Downs
Chipstead, Kingswood, Tadworth and Tattenham Corner
Whyteleafe, Whyteleaf South and Caterham
Upper Wharlingham

Does this apply to One-Day Travelcards when travelling from outside London -
ie where the ticket includes travel into London as well as unlimited travel
within all the London zones?


Er, I think you're making it sound more complicated than it is!

Those stations will cease to be outside the zones, and become Zone 6
stations, just like any other Zone 6 station.

Presumably there will be a period during which season tickets bought
under the old system will continue to be valid. Perhaps there may be
some refund system for those season ticket holders whose old ticket is
more expensive than the equivalent new ticket, which I speculate would
be the majority of commuters (those who travel into into London). Maybe
only holders of season tickets over a certain period (say 6 months)
will get to apply for a refund. I am guessing.

I know nothing more than what the poster said, which I have basically
repeated above. Perhaps this poster has been displayed too early - if
no-one else has seen said poster, I'll make an endeavour to take a
picture.
