Default Oyster Bus Question

I have a Zone 1,2,3 & 4 Monthly travelcard at the moment.

How does this work in relation to using Buses. I want to use it for
journeys from Totteridge & Whetstone (LU Zone 4) area and go to High Barnet
area (LU Zone 5) ? Would this be accepted by the oyster reader ?

Yes because:

1. There is only one bus zone now.

2. The reader doesn't know where you are going

Any travelcard for any zone combination works for all TfL buses. So, for
example, you can use a Z5 Travelcard on a bus in Central London at no
extra cost.

Apparently yes; we can use any bus in London, and, I believe, any
Tramlink stop, too, even outside the validity of our ticket.

A travelcard has to have validity in zone 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 for Tramlink.

Any travelcard (for any zone you care to mention) is valid on any bus
displaying the London Buses roundel near the front door.

Yes and OP can also use his Travelcard on the bus services in 'Beyond
the Fringes', downloadable from TfL's website.
