Default a quick ticketing query

I've got a 16-25 Railcard, and intend to get a Z1-6 off-peak one day
travelcard, and then an off-peak day return to Bletchley. But should
this ticket be from Harrow & Wealdstone (the last calling point), or
Hatch End (the last station in the zones), or is a 'Boundary Zone 6'
available when travelling out of the zones?


The ticket should be from BZ6 to Bletchley. Zone extension tickets run
*from* BZn *to* $station_outside_the_zones only (and back, if it's a
return ticket). As it's a zone extension ticket, not just a
combination of tickets, you can catch any LM train to Bletchley with
that ticket, whether or not it stops at Harrow or Hatch End.


Thanks. I think that's the information I was after, but was having
trouble tracking down on the web.

I'll just have to hope that the people at the ticket office at SPB
have their heads screwed on, since I've had a little bit of difficulty
obtaining anything from them that's a little out of the ordinary...
