Purley Oaks / Sanderstead to London

I’ve recently started commuting from Purley Oaks to Waterloo East, and have concluded that it will be cheaper to by an annual season ticket as I travel 4 days a week at peak times.

As I drive to Purley Oaks (allowing time for variable traffic etc.), I often have enough time to walk to Sanderstead and get into London slightly earlier. Obviously not a problem when travelling PAYG, but would like to have the flexibility to use both stations with a season ticket. I therefore have a couple of questions:

1) Is a Purley Oaks to London Terminals season ticket also valid at Sanderstead, due to the close proximity of the two stations?

2) I note Coulsdon South to London is the same price as from Purley Oaks. Would this also work at Sanderstead if the answer to Q1 is yes?

Or I would suggest looking at a Travelcard for the appropriate Zone - will depend on what other travelling you do.

Yes, I did have a look at that, however the amount of non-business related travel I do on TfL wouldn’t go anywhere near the difference in cost. Certainly something I’ll monitor over time though.
