Many season ticket changeovers

[maniacmartin]

This is another hypothetical question. I'm not actually proposing anyone does this.

Is there any limit on the number of season ticket changeovers that one can have?

If not, then surely for someone who makes a lot of random peak journeys, it could be worth buying a cheap season ticket (such as the Ryde one) and performing a season ticket changeover every time they wished to make a journey, changing it back to the cheap one afterwards, or constantly changing the ticket's destination to suit their travel needs that particular day.

Assuming they always managed to find a clerk willing to do this, and all the calculations that went along with it, what would be the consequences of such actions? Is there a point when a passenger no longer qualifies for changeovers? How many changeovers is generally deemed OK before its obvious that a passenger is manipulating the system?

I don't think there is an explicit maximum number of changes allowed, although I suspect if you are spotted doing this, you will be promptly told where to go (unless one finds a sufficient number, a large number, of competent clerks on this subject and rotate amongst them but I doubt a sane person would go to all that trouble - there will be no time left in his/her life to do anything else).

In addition the changeover can take days to be processed so might not be able to fit around someone's daily changing travel patterns anyway.
