Can I use an Oyster Card on any National Rail station within the Travel

I would like to get a pre Pay version but there is no reader at my home
station, Grove Park. There are readers at London Bridge when you alight
. I often go up to Northumberland Park which also have no readers. What
would happen if I scanned the Oyster at London bridge and then Liverpool
Street on the way to Northumberland Park. Get off, do Spurs, come back
and rescan the card when I get back to Liverpool Street on the way home.

Oyster just seems a sham if the cards can not be used at the majority of
London national rail stations.

Nevermind I have found the answer.

Oyster appears usless to almost anyone who does not live near a tube
station, so most of S London then.

Oyster per se, isn't useless, just the Pre-Pay version for non-tube
people

An Oyster with a Period Travelcard on it, would work fine though.
