Urgh - BalhamEsherLondonBalham
Tomorrow I have to go from Balham to Esher, then from Esher into zone 1
and then later back to Balham. As Esher is beyond zone 6 it would clearly be impractical to get a Z1-6 paper travelcard (I have only a PAYG Oyster). Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to manage the journey? Many thanks, Ian -- |

This is very much do-able. Buy a zones 1-6 Day Travelcard at Balham, then also buy a return extension ticket from the boundary of zone 6 to Esher (though I suppose you could even buy a zones 1-4 Day Travelcard and then an extension from boundary zone 4 to Esher). The only possible problem might be coaxing the ticket office at Balham to sell you the appropriate extension ticket. Then again perhaps I'm just being a pessimist. Regardless the ticket office at Clapham Jn would certainly sell you the right ticket without any problems. |

At Balham station, ask for a travelcard for zones 1 to 6 plus Esher. -- David Cantrell | Godless Liberal Elitist Hail Caesar! Those about to vi ^[ you! |

k... At Balham station, ask for a travelcard for zones 1 to 6 plus Esher. Did just that and it worked fine. Ian |
