How would you solve the other problem of people with season ticket
travelcards starting journeys outside London? e.g. if I go to stay the
night
in Surrey, I cannot get an overnight return extension - I have to buy the
ticket on the day. So I'll get one to the first station inside the zones
but
do I then have to jump off at that station, touch on a pad and then waste
time at a remote outpost waiting for the next train?


Do you have a travelcard for any zones? If you do, I would say you are
good to stay on the train.
