But it's only a more general case of the problem which already exists
when extending an LU journey beyond the zones of a paper travelcard,
and which TfL has refused to address. *People are currently expected
to get out and wait for a later train, in order to get the wonderful
benefits of Oyster (ie avoid the enormous fare hikes for cash fares)
when extending a zone on LU.


Why shouldn't they still be expected to get out and wait for a later
train? *I think it's appalling that people should ever have to do
that, but it wouldn't be a change resulting from implementation on
National Rail, just a wider range of situations where it might occur.
