You can combine a travelcard with a boundary zone ticket (with a
choice of
routing options that include 'any permitted'). This should even work
with a
day travelcard without the requirement for the train to call at a
boundary
zone station (e.g. Gatwock Express) because boundary zone tix are
considered
to be zonal tix.


The Gatwick and Heathrow expresses are exceptions to this rule.


This is wrong. There are two separate tickets from Boundary Zone 6 to
Gatwick Airport, one rte NOT GATWICK EXP and one rte ANY PERMITTED. As
long as you buy the any permitted ticket you can use it on the Gatwick
Express with a Travelcard.
