So, for the sake of clarity, can we confirm that a 'Boundary
Zone'
ticket can also be used with a *Day* Travelcard - as the
'Boundary
Zone' ticket is not in fact technically a separate ticket, merely
a
receipt for an additional fare?
Yes, indeed I can confirm that. I do it regularly when I visit
London for 'leisure' (railway enthusiasm) purposes; I have often
bought more than one such BZ ticket on the same day. Sometimes I
extend 'normal' Day Travelcards; on other occasions I extend
'outboundary' Day Travelcards.
On Thursday this week, I used a Day Travelcard from Newark [1] and
at Victoria I extended it from BZ6 to Bognor Regis. Or at least
that's what I asked for at Victoria; I later discovered that I'd
been issued a Cheap Day Return from BZ*4* (rather than 6). Can
anyone tell me how much extra I paid because of this error?
You might have paid less. I recall that SVRs to Cambridge are
cheaper from BZ4 than from BZ6 or something like that at the
moment.
Interesting. How are these extension fares calculated?
