is it illegal for him to sell it for whatever it is worth to the buyer?
Of course, as it is linked to a specific numbered photo card, that
value to someone else is going to be no more than "interest" value
As far as I know an adult Travelcard within z1-6 bought at a TfL ticket
office is the one ticket of that type which doesn't require a photocard.
I thought monthly and longer Travelcards do have to be registered
though if issued on an Oyster Card.
Paper travelcard seasons issued from NR stations have to be linked to
a photocard. A quick check of TOC websites shows no exception for
Travelcard seasons not having a photocard. A different practice from
TfL.
Yes, buying at a NR office does require a photocard.
Therefore a ticket wth 3 months value will be linked in some way to an
identifiable individual.
What if they paid cash, or with a prepay credit card?
There is therefore a risk that anyone using it could be charged with
fraud if a ticket inspector picked up on something or just asked some
logical questions.
That'll depend on how many blue moons we have between now and the end of
March!
