Hello,
I will be travelling to Tunbridge Wells. Can I use my 60+ Oyster Card for the part of the journey covering Waterloo (East) to Orpington and buy a rail ticket just covering the journey from Orpington to Tunbridge Wells? Do I have to get off the train at Orpington (which would be annoying) or can I just stay on the train?
Thank you – I’m new to 60+ (& this forum) and not quite sure how to use it.
Thank you
KateHi Kate,
Yes you can, and no you don’t have to touch out. The 60+ Oyster will actually cover you to Knockholt, and because it’s a zonal ticket there is no need for the train to call at Knockholt.
Also something to look for is a ticket from (or to, as appropriate) Boundary Zone 6 (which is the actual boundary for 60+ Oyster/Freedom Pass, rather than Orpington or Knockholt, or other on different lines). Ticket offices should sell them, or now a lot of ticket machines do – look for ‘tickets from another station’ option.
Thanks. Whilst true, in this case the prices from Knockholt and Bounadry zone 6 are the same. Unless there was a reasonable expectation of using a different route in one direction, I’d stick just to the point to point fare. The alternative routes would require changes of train and take much longer, either via Swanley or Redhill.
