What does this have to do with the OP's problem? He wants a ticket from
BZ4 to Vauxhall.

Thanks for the comments - SWT clerk said there were no fares for boundary of
zones "inwards" to London in the ticket machine.

London or outwards.

It does matter - there don't exist any fares "inwards" from Boundary
Zones.

Despite one or two previous posters claiming to have bought such a ticket,
other regular posts from ticketing gurus such as Barry Salter, and reference
to the NR fares manual, indicate that a ticket from a boundary zone inwards
does not exist.

So how is someone with an outer zones travelcard who wants to go inwards
supposed to do?

Buy a point-to-point ticket that starts from the last station in the
last zone that their Travelcard is valid in.

Just examples along a railway line about what kind of zone boundary
tickets it was possible to buy, but both me and Mizter T had got that
wrong anyway, there are no inbound zone boundary tickets available,
thanks asdf for correcting that.

The only zone boundary tickets available are from an outer boundary of a
zone outwards from London. So in this case, with a Travelcard for Z5-6
it is not possible to buy a zone boundary ticket to Vauxhall because
that is a journey towards central London.
