After the usual extensive fuss in which I was threatened with

train as usual, but I was just wondering, does the inspector have any
grounds for this claim at all? Theoretically, would I have to get off
the train at Putney and then get back on again for the ticket to be
valid? South West trains have never had a problem with this ticket
combination; they've had a problem reading both tickets on the Oyster
card, but once it's explained to them, they're fine with it.

If the train stops at Putney you're fine. I'm not sure about through
trains though.

If (at least one of) the tickets are zonal, the train doesn't have to
stop. In this case, both are, so no need to stop.
