In October I will need to go to Heathrow (zone 6) from Stratford (zone
3). I have Oyster with:
1. monthly travel card for zones 1-3
2. 10£ for pay-as-you-go needs

How will I be charged? For zones 4-6, or 3-6, or 1-6? (I will also
cross zones 1 and 2).
And on return journey, when I will enter in zone 6, and exit in zone 3
(Heathrow - Stratford) - will it be the same?

Assuming those are the only "out of zone" journeys you make on those
days, you should just be charged £1.00 (before 0700 and after 1900
Monday to Friday, all day at weekends) or £1.80 (between 0700 and 1900
Monday to Friday) for a Single for Zones 4-6.


This is a bit of a tangent, but if he had a zone 1 and 2 travelcard and
went from Heathrow to Stratford, touching in at Heathrow and out at
Stratford, would that count as one or two PAYG journeys, given that it
was split by the travelcard valid part?

(And I don't think there is any way of avoiding a zone 1 and/or 2
section without touching out and getting a bus, or maybe Silverlink.)
