So would Ruislip (Metropolitan Line) - Kings Cross (Victoria Line) -

perfectly acceptable even though the TFL planner suggests changing at
Finchley Rd and Finchley Rd + Frognal ?


Absolutely. In fact, the Oyster Terms and Conditions say nothing about
taking a direct or obvious route (some other ticket types do), so you
can spend up to two hours roaming the system before you get to
Hackney, as long as you touch in at the start and out at the end.

Excellent. Thanks very much everyone. I was just worried that if I
crossed into and went through zone 1 I would be penalised very much
like someone with a zone 2-6 Travelcard travelling through zone 1.

Thanks all !
