Default Oyster Question

In reply to news post, which Kev wrote on Thu, 17 Aug

The question on the LUL online complaint form says "What zone/s does
your ticket cover?"

And from drop down menue you have 2 1-2 1-3 1-4 1-5 1-6 2-3 2-4 2-5 2-6
3-4 3-5 3-6 4-5 4-6 5-6 6.

I would have thought that the answer was not applicable for a prepay
Oyster as 1-6 would not be correct as it excludes National Rail and is
prepay Oyster not available to Watford or Amersham.

I was expecting the complaint to be rejected if unanswered but it did
accept it anyway.


Pre Pay can be used at Amersham, I use it. I have also purchased travel
cards on my Oyster from zone 6D to 1

I think Kev's comment - "[...]is prepay Oyster not available to Watford
or Amersham" - was rhetorical.

He does indeed rightly point out that zones A-D are not available as
choices on the drop-down menu on the LU complaints form - but I guess
if they did feature they drop-down menu would be unmanageably long and
would dissapear off the bottom of the page!
