Do such things even exist these days? I assume not as I was told by the booking office at West Drayton some years ago they do not.
I ask as in March on my way back from stewarding a steam tour the previous day I intend to try and film and photograph a Steam Dreams trip out of Paddington and through one of my local stations when I lived in West London (even if they are all currently building sites at the moment).
I know from a recent visit that since TFL took over this is a penalty fare area and is enforced, as there is a disputes thread about someone fined for helping their girlfriend with her suitcase.
Question is I know if I use my Oyster I will have to travel to the next station to touch out and have a time constraint (if the tour is late). Does the same apply with contactless regarding time?
Is there a time issue with a normal paper ticket as I have an issue in the past at West Drayton where I was told my ticket only allowed me to get on the next train to arrive, not hang around and choose the train I wanted.
