Yes it is permitted, but its probaby best not to assume that the

whta you are doing.
My Cambridge-Zones 1 & 2 saver return outward portions don't get taken by
the gates at East Putney. It's hard to see why not but when I asked here
it was confirmed as expected behaviour.
No mystery, isn't it simply because East Putney LU is gated as an 'out of
station interchange' with Putney NR?
It wouldn't be an OSI because LU fares do not apply to the line from
Waterloo to Putney or beyond. If it was a permitted inter operator
interchange then the tickets would deal with the validity issues - the
gates do not need to be an OSI to deal with that. This is why zonally
priced NR tickets are still issued to named destination stations rather
than by fare value (as LU does).
I understand that LU don't remove NR tickets at all
Is the correct answer! NR issued tickets regardless of destination are
always given back at LU gatelines. Different practices obviously
operate at NR gatelines depending on the ticketing rules that apply to
each destination.
