Hi,
I currently have an Annual Season ticket zones 1-4 loaded onto my oyster card. I am moving to Redhill on Saturday which is zone 13 and I have been told that you cannot have a zones 1-13 annual season ticket.
I have been told that I need to get the zones 1-4 travelcard refunded and then buy a paper annual season ticket for Redhill - Zones 1-6.
I really don't want a paper season ticket as I just know this will degrade over the year and I read you can only get one replacement? I did think about a key smart card but correct me if I am wrong this will not work on all train companies within zones 1-6, SWR for example?
I did think about getting a 1-6 travelcard loaded on my oyster and then a zone 6 boundary to redhill season ticket (using the smart card as only thameslink/southern do this route) but this ends up more expensive.
Is there any work around to this that I haven't thought of?
Also on a side note, Reigate to 1-6 zones is the same price as Redhill. Am I right to assume I can do this so I get unlimited travel between Reigate and Redhill too if I buy from Reigate rather than Redhill?
thanks in advance for your help
