Out-boundary Travelcards the "wrong way"

[b0b]

Can you use an "out-boundary" travelcard the "wrong way" around?

eg. using a Gatwick Airport to Zone 1-6 day travelcard:

can I use that to accompany somone to GTW from NWD (in zone 4), and then return from GTW and use the Z1-6 part for the rest of the day, or must I use the GTW to Z1-6 journey before the Z1-6 to GTW journey?

You have to use them inbound first; they are a Travelcard with a return to the zone boundary included.

Its like anyother return ticket - the outward journey must be done first.
So no you can't

I'm pretty sure I've been sold such a ticket in the past. I guess I'm supposed to get is a Z1-6 and a BZ6 to GTW then?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Yes, a return from the zone boundary would be what you need.

Yes, that's right. But check the prices first because a normal day return from East Croydon may be cheaper, particularly if you limit yourselves to FCC.
