He could buy a BZ5 to Gatwick ticket, and use it on any train which stops
at East Croydon (provided the ticket is valid on that train, of course).

Because East Croydon is in Z5? It doesn't work that way.

I normally have a Z1-4 travelcard, but if I get a ticket from BZ4 to
wherever, the train doesn't have to stop in zone 4 for the ticket to be
valid.

BZ tickets are the big exception to the normal rule that if you are
combining multiple tickets for a single journey, you need to travel on
trains that stop at appropriate places.

As is regularly pointed out, if you did need to stop at a 'boundary station'
there'd be even less point in having the tickets. This is precisely why
they are issued from the boundary between two zones - which as a glance at
the map shows is not always at a station.

For the benefit of Jarle, the is a bus service so secret MI5 erase

Oddly enough, you are allowed to mention that it goes to Clapton

Oh, do behave Mr Anderson!

The funniest thing I've read all day. Is it the same MI5 that erases the
names of stations from train information systems? "The next station is."
