1). I sometimes visit my parents in Epsom, for which I get an extension to
my existing season ticket. I will not be able to touch out at Epsom so how
do I touch out. (And even if I can get special dispensation to enter through
the barriers without touching in, I may well not be on an Epsom train for
all of the journey, but instead changing at Sutton.)

Instead of selling BZ extension tickets as extension tickets, it would
be an option to sell them as a through ticket (that will open the
barriers at both ends) marked as valid only with Oyster card number N,
and discounted for the bit "already held" just as it is now.

2). I come home in the peak hours to a station where all passengers have to
squeeze through a narrow hallway where there will only be a couple of
readers at the side. It is completely unrealistic to expect everyone in peak
hours to stop to touch out on such limited facilities without serious
problems.

Then more readers would be necessary.

I just think it's better to be consistent, and there's a revenue
protection benefit as well.
