Why not? There are plenty of stops within TfL between Finsbury Park and
Hadley Wood. Hadley Wood and beyond would be understandable but not
before it.

Methinks this is a typo.

Yes, but Oyster *prepay* is not valid at any of those stations. (IIRC
the only place it's valid on [WA]GN is between Moorgate and Finsbury
Park.) Ditto to the previous post - the list is of stations and routes
where Prepay is *not* valid, which (as you suggest) includes all routes
and stations out of Paddington.

I admit it took me a while to realise that as well...

Because there are no Oyster readers.

Methinks you've misunderstood.

Oyster Prepay is valid for public transport within the TfL zone (which
in this direction ends at Hadley Wood and Crews Hill) *EXCEPT* for those
places where the operators don't provide oysterpads. On WAGN that's
everywhere north of Finsbury Park.

Similar for the other comments.

That's not the only reason. For example, there are Oyster readers at
Willesden Junction and at Gunnersbury, but even so, pre-pay isn't
valid on Silverlink between the two (despite the fact that TfL zonal
tickets are valid on the NLL, and ticket inspectors on the trains need
hand-held Oyster readers anyway because travelcard-on-Oyster is
valid).

The WAGN grippers carry them and I have seen with my own eyes that they
accept them as valid to stations as far as New Barnet.

Anything concocted by TfL and WAGN - I usually do.

They accept prepay? Are you sure you're not just seeing Oyster season
tickets being validated.

Maybe - but why did the gripper ask the passenger where he was
alighting?

Because the answer will indicate whether the passenger is planning to
stay within the bounds of his travelcard or needs to be holding an
extension.

ROFL!

In over 5 years I've had my WGC to all zones 'paper' travelcard gripped
many a time and I've NEVER been asked if I was travelling beyond what
was on the ticket!
