Yes - based on what you've posted. If you could say exactly what the
Travelcard was for then that would just confirm matters. I got the
impression you travelled in from outside the zones - not that it
should make any different whatsoever provided the date and zones were
fine.
ODTC was Winchester - Z123456 Route Woking. It was in date, on a railcard
which I was carrying and showed with the ticket when required.
The oyster is kept in the same wallet for convenience, behind the
railcard.
I had a query using a similar Network discounted travelcard on Tramlink a
year or so back, without being asked to present my Oyster card though, which
I too keep in the same wallet as my Network Card.
Got the impression the gripper wasn't familiar with the format at all. What
I had to do was explain how it was a combined 'mainlline return' + 'all
zones travelcard'. Valid in all zones, but then didn't they used to just
read R1256 or Z1256 (haven't got an old one to hand) - might the numbering
system have added to the confusion at that time?
