Probably a silly guestion

[Dolive22]

If a season ticket is shown by FCC as being from (say) Welwyn North to 'R1256' is it only valid in zones 1,2,5 and 6, or is it just shorthand for zones 1 to 6?

It's shorthand for all of Zones 1-6. It would be a bit impractical otherwise!

Looks like this one has been answered previously - http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?p=301380

Thanks. I'm not that familiar with the line involved, so I thought it might not have any stops in 3 or 4.

It would make more sense if it read 1-6

Looking at the link from Trickyvegas raises silly question 2, if a season ticket on a FCC route from somewhere outside the travelcard area to london is issued to R1256 (instead of the other option, london stations), is that an annual travelcard for zones 1-6 (including DLR, buses, tube, London Overground etc.) plus all FCC travel between the starting station and zone 6, or just all travel on FCC between the starting station and zone 6 and all FCC travel with zones 1-6.

R1256 means it is an all-zones Travelcard, valid for unlimited journeys on any mode that accepts Travelcards within the Zones. This is basically everything apart from HS1, Heathrow Express and Connect to the Airport.

Thanks again Yorkie.
