Reply To: Buying extension tickets to Oyster 60+ from zone 6

Ah ok. I didn’t know about the restriction on Advance tickets because I haven’t tried to buy one before with the Oyster 60+
It’s true that I always assumed with my pre lockdown Gold card that I couldn’t combine it with an Advance ticket because my Gold card was only zones 1 to 3 so didn’t cover much of a distance. I only got discounts on Network South East.

I suppose I will have to compare the cost of an off peak from Surbiton to Bournemouth with the cost of an Advance from London Waterloo.
I didn’t actually mention the term Advance tickets when I rang National Rail. I only said I needed to cover the route beyond zone 6.
