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

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.
Soon they'll be forced to be interested - once the Railways Bill comes
into effect, TfL will have much more influence over railways within
London, particularly in the fares department - the Bill makes strong
allusions to the rollout of Oyster across the whole GLA area, and makes
a bit of a noise about fares integration too.
