I find a Zone 6 only annual travelcard suits my needs best (as a bus pass

for renewal this week (and a big price increase!) but I'd like to make my
life a little easier (opening Surbiton barriers) by getting it on an
oystercard (I already have a PAYG one of these) but to retain my gold card
and six free SWT weekend tickets that come with it. I've heard Richmond
and Wimbledon can issue these tickets (although neither is in zone 6) and
would like to know if this is the case - will I have to "educate" the ticket
office staff? is one of these stations better than the other at doing this.
Now that the 5% poor performance discount in no longer it does not matter
which station I use to renew.

AFAIK, any NR station should be able to issue a ticket from anywhere to
anywhere. The fact that Wimbledon is able to issue Oysters shouldn't
present a problem. Whether you'd remain entitled to the benifits of
SWT Gold Service I'm not sure, but as the ticket is being sold by SWT,
you *should* retain these benefits - I think.
