Default Gold card extension/ticket advice

That's going outwards. I don't think you can do the same going inwards.

My understanding is that there are "special" fares for the extension -
certainly when I have travelled out to Northfleet on my GoldCard, I have
bought a Zone 6 to Northfleet extension.

My wife has an all-zones Travelcard/Gold Card. Next Wednesday she needs
to make a single journey from Northfleet in Kent to central London,
leaving at peak time (8.23).

The train at this time travels to Dartford, which is immediately
outside
Zone 6 and therefore still not covered by her Gold Card, then goes fast
to Abbey Wood, which is in Zone 4, i.e. quite a way into her Gold Card
area.

So my question is, can she buy a ticket from Northfleet to a
just-in-Zone-6 station such as Slade Green (which she'd be passing
through but not stopping at) and use that to bridge the part uncovered
by her ticket? Or would a ticket to Dartford plus her travelcard cover
her (I'm guessing not, since the stretch between Dartford and Zone 6 is
then not covered)? Or does she have no choice but to fork out for a
single from Northfleet to Abbey Wood, despite the duplication of ticket
validity? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Paul

Slade Green should be fine. If you are combining a single ticket with a
season ticket, the train doesn't need to stop at the 'changeover'
station...
