Many country stations had held tickets available for suburban travel at some point. These were mostly printed destination or blank issues worded "Melbourne to ...". With the simplified zonal fares, it was practicable to hold certain ticket types to cover travel to a much wider range of metropolitan destinations. It is not clear whether stations could order in what they felt was necessary, or automatically received stocks of most zone tickets. Many used examples were found but a great many more came to light after their withdrawal (but still not helping to answer this question). A selection of these tickets are shown below.
