Got some Oyster Travelcard questions.
I need to travel from Twickenham to Wimbledon on South West Trains
on a regular basis. It looks like I need to buy a zone 5 to a zone 3
travelcard.

When I 'renew' or 'recharge' the travelcard for the first time - is
this done by simply pinging your Oyster card on a reader at the
designated pick-up station, or do I need to do something else? Will
this work on any reader at the designated station?

I had to choose Wimbledon as the pick-up station because Twickenham
doesn't provide renew/recharge. I guess I have to pay for the very
first journey on the first day (Twickenham - Wimbledon)? Seems a
bit unfair as I'll be paying for the same journey twice (I've paid for
the travelcard for that day already).

Is it me or is Oyster one of the most complicated things on planet
Earth?

Get a paper season?
