Default Watford Junction Travelcard question

The Watford Junction travelcard is valid on the fast Silverlink

you will have to travel on a service that stops there.


Are you sure about that? I thought the usual rules concerning multiple
tickets covering a single journey (ie the train must stop at the
station where you change tickets) did not apply to the London zonal
system, and therefore 'fast' trains could be used. Or does this
easement only apply to zonal *season* tickets (ie not one day
travelcards etc)?


I understood that the there was no requirement for your train to stop at
(in this case) Hatch End, but that you had to use a train run by a TOC,
some of whose trains served that station. Thus any Silverlink train would
do, but not Virgin.
