Quick question re out-of-zone Travelcard on Oyster (ping Paul C?)
Paul Corfield wrote
involved. I am not aware that there has been any reduction in the
range
of out boundary destinations for either single, return or season
ticket
purchases.
Given that LU has effectively scrapped magnetics for seasons I
thought
the position was that LU issued on to Oyster cards for the Travelcard
encoding and provided a record card or similar to the passenger to
demonstrate that out boundary validity was part of the ticket
purchased.
In the reverse direction (i.e. purchase at Hertford East then a
magnetic
season would be sold).
I shall ask the fares office for a position but it may take a few
days
for an answer to be provided.
Thanks.
Because of the photocard issue one can deduce that out boundary adult
monthly or longer TCs on Oyster cannot be issued by TFL (catch 22 from
the 2006 Fares and Tickets booklet, p30)
quote
* A photocard is not needed to buy and use any adult rate TC on Oyster
* You do need a photocard before you can buy or use monthly or longer
TCs that include validity to a NR station beyond {the zones}
