Pre-pay can't be used on National Rail except where there is a joint
line (e.g. Richmond - Gunnersbury). So to travel legally you need to
buy a 'paper' extension ticket from Boundary Zone 3 to Richmond, then
use you pre-pay to touch-in at Richmond and out again at Kew Gardens.

Is this because such lines don't have staff with Oyster readers to check? If
so, what if you just waved your pre-pay Oyster at them claiming that it has
a valid weekly travelcard on it? What would they be able to do about that?
