Do you mean that, for example, at Ringwood (which is zone 3), the TVMs
should also sell Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 1/2, and Rail+2 (which is only
available for Zone 1) tickets?  I don't think this is such a good idea,
as from time to time, I have caught customers who try to "cheat" the
system.  Under the current arrangement, the only way to purchase tickets
that do not cover the zone you are in, is to purchase from the booking
office staff.
