One question concerns me though: Why doesn't DC have an Oyster?

A good question as I thought all MPs had All Zones Travelcards anyway.
I might be wrong but I'm sure they have them as part of the T&Cs for
being a MP.

I'm also struggling with why he needed to travel on the tube having
cycled from NHG to Willesden Junction and then needed to go to Wembley?
Why didn't he cycle the rest or just get a bus?

He seems to have gone to WJ back into town and then back out again on
the Jubilee Line (assuming the article is right - I would imagine he may
have cycled to Willesden Green which makes a little more sense)

It might be for London MPs. My MP has a Cambridge-London (I think all zones) annual season. But why would an MP for a constituency in zone 2 justify more than a zones 1 and 2 travelcard?

They justify a flat on taxpayer's money near Westminster even when their
family home is 15 minutes away by train, and they justify spending a
fortune on stationery, so I'm sure they all get zone 6 travelcards too.

No idea Colin. I was merely speculating as I don't know for certain that
I what said was correct. I certainly don't know what entitlement rules
would apply.

This has intrigued me as well, so I'm on the case of finding out - I
will report back when I have an authoritative answer (might take a few
days).
