Maybe or maybe not. Depends on what the agreement says and what
the
revenue sharing arrangements are. I understand it will be part of
each new franchise to participate in Oyster.

Is that just the franchises that have stations within the Travelcard
zones?

Incidentally, has anyone ever produced a map showing the outer limits
for the availability of the Outboundary (by definition, zones 1-6)
ODTC? I presume it's at the whim of the individual TOC. For
example, I know you can get one from Newark, but not from Retford.
The staff at Retford *think* they can sell one, but what they
actually sell is a normal ticket to London plus a choice of various
LU tickets or inboundary (not necessarily all zones) ODTC, which is
not the same thing at all - a point that seems to be lost on some of
the posters in this thread.

How does one find out what revenue sharing arrangement NXEC has for
the Outboundary ODTC it issues?
