Default 60+ pass use outside london

oops sent that before I had finished

try again:

apropos something entirely unrelated, I was perusing the 60+ pass validity
and I came across the rule:

"60+ Oyster pass holders are not entitled to free travel on services outside
of London."

at:

https://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/se...ster-photocard and I thought *what*!Note that what I am reading are pages updated for Covid, so are currentlydifferent to any previous pages you may have read.Is this just a lazy way of saying that it's not available on rest of Englandservices, or do they really mean that I can't currently use a TFL serviceacross the boundary?Because I've certainly done that on a bus in the past, and the ticket officeat "London Terminals", have used outside the boundary stations for sellingme excesses (no prompting from me)The map here's no help:https://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/services/freedom-pass/using-pass/freedom-pass-travel-mapIt's recently been complicated by the "not before 9:00" rule, but containsnothing to differential between old person's Freedom pass and 60+ passes (itdon't claim to represent 60+ pass, but I can't find a map that does).I aware of the rule that doesn't allow 60+ pass use on Crossrail to Reading,but what about other "outside the boundary" lines?
