Getting to Kew
Tim wrote:
I have a zone 1-3 travelcard loaded on my Oyster card, and want to
travel from Clapham Junction to Kew Gardens. This involves getting a
train to Richmond then changing for Kew Gardens.
However Richmond is in zone 4, which I have always assumed means
having to buy an extension ticket (for something over a pound). This
seems like an unreasonable expense & hassle, since I don't want to go
to zone 4 or to Richmond, it just happens to a necessary one-stop
detour on the way to Kew
Does anyone know whether I can (legaly) travel through Richmond
without buying an extension, since my starting point & destination
are bot covered by my travelcard (and I don't pass any ticket gates,
just walk from one platform to another)?
Also, with Oyster if I loaded on some prepay as well, with the
intention of it covering the extension part, how would I go about
doing that since I don't touch in/out at Richmond?
Thanks
Tim
Try this to find an alternative route.
