Yes - based on what you've posted. If you could say exactly what the
Travelcard was for then that would just confirm matters. I got the
impression you travelled in from outside the zones - not that it
should make any different whatsoever provided the date and zones were
fine.

ODTC was Winchester - Z123456 Route Woking. It was in date, on a railcard
which I was carrying and showed with the ticket when required.

That's certainly valid.

The oyster is kept in the same wallet for convenience, behind the
railcard.

And that creates no obligation for you to have validated it because
your ODTC is demonstrably the valid ticket.

I have the "privelige" of having safeguarded travel concessions (ex
BR) on Tramlink and as I work in Croydonia I quite often jump on trams
as I am far too lazy to walk (and I am a bit of a spotter). My PAYG
Oyster will now remain very invisible !

The OP and any of us can of couse spend the whole day using a
travelcard as a "rover" on the trams perfectly legitamately (during
it's valid time). Maybe we should organise a group day of travelling
the system with PAYG Oysters on display to see how many times this
happens, preferably with zero balances on the PAYG's (is that
possible ?).

I would be very intersted to hear TFL's response to this. I guess the
staff are brainwashed by the contstant P.A. telling you you MUST touch
in.
