Yes but first a question. What zones / travel is your Annual
Oystercard valid for? I can't see that info in your post and it is
absolutely vital.

I have been through the latest staff document for Fares and Tickets
and what is says is the following :-

A photocard is *not needed* to buy and use any Adult Rate Travelcard
or Bus Pass on Oyster.

A photocard *is needed* to buy or use :-

a) monthly or longer period Travelcards that include validity to a
National Rail station beyond Zones 1-6
b) monthly or longer period Tube only point to point season tickets
(between stations in Zones A-D) issued before 2/1/07 until expiry of
ticket.
c) 7 day, monthly or longer period National Rail only season
ticket.


This seems an odd question. Would any of these tickets *ever* be issued
on an Oystercard?.

As Travelcards with validity beyond the zones can be sold from LU
offices then these tickets most certainly are issued on Oyster. An
additional "record card" is produced that shows the NR validity outside
the zones to allow ticket inspection.

Point to Point LU only seasons certainly were prior to 2/1/07 but these
have now been supplanted by having to use PAYG.

For NR only seasons I would be surprised if these were issued on Oyster
but I have to say that I don't know if supplies of magnetic ticket
blanks are still provided for this purpose. If we have a LU booking
clerk lurking in the background perhaps they can chip in on this point.
