Gold card extension/ticket advice
Paul Scott wrote: "Keith Raeburn" wrote in message ups.com... Earlier this week I travelled from Acton Central (in zone 2) to Watford North (outside the zones). I held a Travelcard season for zones 2-4. I therefore purchased a single ticket from "Boundary Zone 4" to Watford North, and was able to purchase this my origin station. This works out cheaper than a single for Acton Central-Watford North, and does not "duplicate ticket validity". Yes - but you are describing an outward journey. As has been pointed out already, you cannot buy an 'inbound' ticket from a NR station outside the zones. Don't know why. Apologies if I have misunderstood, but if you mean I cannot buy from (say) Hertford East station "a single to Boundary Zone 3 as I have a Z123 Oyster", then yes you can, as I do it about twice a week. |

And it says "Boundary Zone 3" on it? |

And it says "Boundary Zone 3" on it? Not *always* (see my other post), but I was pretty sure that I have succeeded in getting one on some occasions. Though now I'm starting to doubt and will check the next few times! |
