I find a Zone 6 only annual travelcard suits my needs best (as a bus pass
and covering my regular Hampton Court - Surbiton rail journey) - it's due
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.

Just to update - SWT Richmond refused to sell me a zone 6 only oystercard
travelcard - their policy is only to sell oystercards which include zone 4.
