Bit of a question of mine about what the official line.
A passenger thinks for whatever strange reason they can use Oyster (PAYG) say from London Victoria to Eastbourne.
They 'tap in' at London Victoria, this lets them through the barriers etc
A guard checks tickets say in the Gatwick Airport area and is presented with the Oyster card.
What should happen?
a) a new ticket from East Croydon (last place the train stopped within the zonal system where Oyster is valid) to Eastbourne?
b) a new ticket from London Victoria to Eastbourne, as they couldn't 'tap out' anywhere. Therefore it hasn't been a valid ticket. They would then have a unresolved journey, and would be charged the highest amount.
c) other
