Default Oyster prepay validity

Someone at work has a Z1-4 season and travels in from Oakleigh

changing at Finsbury Park/Highbury, and rarely touched in there or

out on
her journey home. She said she never had a problem with it, so

maybe it
doesn't fine you.


As in the above text:

If you have a season ticket it doesn't matter (at the moment). You
only get an unresolved journey if you start your journey outside the
boundary of any travelcard you have and don't end it. Or vice-versa

So, if you have a Z1-4 season and only touch in / out in Z1&2 the

ticket is
perfectly valid.


And that will have to be the case until *all* NR stations within zone 6
have oyster readers - otherwise I would have an unresolved journey
every day (touch in at Farringdon or London Bridge, can't touch out at
Herne Hill or Gipsy Hill as no oyster readers!) Since NR are totally
uninterested in Oyster, I can't see that happening any time soon.
