I currently have an annual zones 2 - 4 Travelcard on an oyster (Due to
expire 31/12/08).

I am starting a new job where my boss will contribute £1500 towards travel.
My new job is in Zone 1.

I am thinking of buying a new Zone 1 - 4 annual, and then trading in my Zone
2 - 4 annual. Is this possible, and how much will I get back on my
remaining Zone 2 -4 ? Also, can this be done at any LU ticket office ?


You can indeed apply for a refund of your old annual Travelcard. I've
never done such a thing myself but this "oyster help" answer suggests
you can do so at a Tube station ticket office - though for an annual I
somehow doubt they'd give you the refund there and then:

This "oyster help" answer meanwhile provides both the address and
direct phone number of the 'Oyster Ticketing and Refunds' office at
TfL:

One other thing to bear in mind is that Oyster cards can actually hold
up to three season tickets concurrently, so you could just go and buy
an eight month long Travelcard season for zones 1&2 and have it loaded
onto your Oyster card as well - however I doubt that'd be cheaper, in
fact it'd be more expensive I'm sure.
