I know this has been discussed already...
Yesterday I had a lovely walk starting from Gordon Hill and across the M25 to Cheshunt. The plan was to carry on and end up at Gordon Hill but I found access to the New River was blocked off for work. I managed to find my way down to Theobalds Grove Overground.
I had my zone 1-6 Travelcard from Martins Heron but was aware Theobolds Grove was beyond zone 6 - though there were no signs at the station to say it was actually in zone 7. I went to the chap at the ticket office to ask for an extension ticket, couldn't hear a word he was saying through his screen. Eventually he just opened the barrier and waved me through. Turkey Street the next stop was in zone 6 anyway so I had no issues.
What do others do in this situation. I could of course just used contactless and tapped out at Seven Sisters where I changed to the Victoria - but I decided to change there on the spot having found there were severe delays on the Central Line which made going right to Liverpool St not a good idea. And being a London Overground station rather than Network Rail the chap probably didn't know much about zone extension fares.
Whatever, had a great walk.
