Apologies, yes. It's peak fare at all times, unless you do the Hatton Cross shuffle.
For some reason, I had conflated the price I'd paid on previous trips with something else. I think it's because I rarely originate in Zone 1 nowadays so I forget the pricing I get is going to be slightly different.
