Is there anything stopping the system charging extensions for people who
have a travelcard that's valid for one reasonable route but not another?
Season ticket holders often don't carry much cash on their Oyster and could
be rightly POed if they were getting charged additional for journeying
within the validity of their tickets.

From the fares booklet:
"Some journeys have been defined as requiring travel via Zone 1 and
will be charged and capped accordingly, irrespective of the actual
route taken."

If the blurb is accurate and this is only done for Zone 1, then it
might be more accurate to say that all journeys are defined as being
via the cheapest possible route, unless they think you'd be going via
Zone 1, in which case they charge you for that.
