Default When is a travelcard not a travelcard?

Isn't Watford Junction outside Zone 9?


It is. What I think the OP actually bought is a Watford Junction
outboundary Travelcard, which should indeed be eaten at the end.

But outboundary travelcards should never be issued from within the zones,
and I wasn't previously aware that National Rail stations could issue Z1-9
either.

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloa...s-and-tickets-
Zones-7-9-plus-watford-junction.pdf does quote prices for a "Day Travelcard
Z1-9 plus Watford Junction" but as it's £ 18.00 peak/£ 13.50 off-peak a
Boundary Z6-Watford Junction is often a better option anyway.
