Is it necessary to do something when interchanging between LU services
outside the zone in which the travel card is valid?

For instance if I were travelling from Wembley Park (zone 4) to Sudbury
Hill (zone 4) via Rayners Lane (zone 5) and had a zones 1-4 card would I
need to touch my Oyster to something at Rayners lane.

The guide cited by Iain states:

"When transferring between Tube, DLR, Tramlink or National Rail
services, always touch your Oyster card on a card reader at the
interchange station or on the tram stop platform before boarding."

however in this case I would not be transferring between Tube and any of
these other modes of transport so it would not seem to be required. A
view supported by the fact I've never been able to find any interchange
touch points at Rayners Lane. However I seem to recall hearing
otherwise somewhere.
