I usually change trains at London Bridge. Do I need to buy an extension ticket for the 60+ London Oyster Photocard at the start of my journey if travelling to Epsom Station?
Would it also be necessary to buy an extension ticket on other occasions just to change trains at Epsom,
if travelling to destinations such as Ewell West which require a change of train at Epsom?Please advise me of the most straightforward method of purchasing extension tickets for day return journeys on the day of travel. My local ticket office is not always open.
I would also need to establish the procedure which should be used to purchase extension tickets for Freedom Passes.
Hi Christine,
Both the 60+ Oyster card and the older person’s Freedom Pass are treated as off-peak travelcards so purchase of extension tickets is the same in both cases.
I’m a little confused about what you mean by changing at London Bridge in relation to Epsom, and specifically Ewell West. Are you arriving into London Bridge using Southeastern? If so, I’d recommend changing at Waterloo East instead and taking SWR direct to Ewell West from Waterloo. That way no extension is required.
Otherwise, you can purchase the ticket from Boundary Zone 6 to Epsom anywhere before you actually need to be using it. London Bridge would be fine. The return extension ticket is valid between either Ewell East or West and Epsom, so you could use it with your 60+ to get from East to West via Epsom. You’d need another return ticket to do the reverse journey later in the day because you use both outward and return on the one journey.
Hope that helps.
