I’m still confused! In some places I see it can’t be used on Greater Anglia at all, in other places that it can be as long as the train stops at Romford first. I know it can be used on the Elizabeth line.
My journey is from Stratford to Shenfield and I have an Oyster 60+ card. Travelling about 11am.It’s valid on GA to the outermost Z1-6 station they serve, which is Romford. Beyond there to Shenfield it’s only valid on the Elizabeth line.
On paper it’s valid on GA as far out as Harold Wood, but GA trains don’t stop there. But that doesn’t mean you can’t buy a ticket that’s valid from there. Ticket buying site https://Tickets.railforums.co.uk allows you to tell it you have a Freedom pass, 60+ card etc and works out the fare taking it into account.
You may be surprised to know that some staff at Greater Anglia are confused as well. In terms of a Stratford to Shenfield journey you’re probably better off using the Elizabeth line as it’s then free all the way. If you want to use the fast trains then you need a boundary zone 6 to Shenfield ticket which can be bought online as Colin suggested in the post above. The 60+ Oyster is a zonal ticket, so there is no need for the train to stop at the last station where you switch to the boundary ticket.
