Oyster PAYG is also valid on Southern trains from WJ as far as Clapham

As ever, always remember to touch-in and touch-out.

Sadly, however, staff passes are not! I wonder if this will ever change
(nearly 100% of the route is covered by London Overground)...


A full 100% of the route is in fact covered by London Overground - the
Watford Jn to Euston line stopping services, and the Willesden Jn to
Clapham Jn services are both London Overground.

The problem of course is that this is the slow route - all stations
from Watford Jn to Willesden Jn!

I'm curious as to what the arrangements are / will be for National
Rail routes that accept Oyster PAYG but don't accept TfL staff passes.

Oyster already offers special Priv rate Oyster cards for qualifying
National Rail staff - what would be good if TfL staff could get these
as well, or if they could be incorporated into the existing TfL staff
passes, so that TfL staff could benefit from Priv rate Oyster PAYG
fares on these routes.

There could be problems though if the system presumed a staff pass
holder had taken a route for which a fare was payable where in fact
they had taken a more roundabout free route (i.e. a route on which
their staff pass was valid).

I'm *really* hazy on the details of staff passes and Priv rate fares
to be honest. Are there any National Rail routes (other than London
Overground) on which TfL staff passes are accepted - for example I'm
thinking of situations such as Liverpool Street to Stratford, where
standard tickets are inter-available (i.e. valid on both National Rail
and LU).
