I would have thought that would only allow you to make a return
trip from Amersham to the central (1-6) area, and back to
Amersham again(plus of course unlimited trips within the 1-6

first (which would involve using the return half of that
ticket before the outward).

You can probably get the reverse of that (a BZ6 to Amersham return)
from the ticket office at Marylebone, no idea if valid on the Met
though.

It's a TfL fare and the route to Amersham is inter-available and has
been for decades.

TfL has BZ6 fares?

It has extension fares for every zonal combination to every LU / DLR /
Overground station - how else do both magnetic and PAYG fare
extensions work if you already hold a zonal travelcard?

Amersham is a LU station and fares are far as Amersham are priced by
TfL. I assume Chiltern price beyond Amersham.

I am not saying TfL price from ZB6 to every applicable NR station
*outside* the zones - just in case you're trying to put words in my
mouth.

OK, but no Oyster version? You have to get off a train within zone 6,
touch in and get on again. And presumably the same in the opposite
direction, touching out that time.

Of course there is an Oyster version - see below but I suspect what
you mean by that term is different to me. The BRfares.com website
shows that - I even listed the fares in an earlier post.

The issue, though, in this example is that the OP has a magnetic Z16
season. He proposed using the Oyster for the extension but he can't
set boundary zone 6 remotely on the card. If he presents the oyster
at exit at Amersham he will be charged the maxium fare. Ditto on the
return. I suggested the less than ideal but still pratical option of
alighting at Moor Park which is the Z67 boundary. The magnetic ticket
runs out there but a quick dash out of the ticket gate with the mag
ticket and re-entry with Oyster would set a start point for the PAYG
journey. The same is possible on the return trip.

I'm the first to agree it's all a bit barmy but the alternative is to
buy a mag ticket extension for cash which costs more.

Or buy a through day return ticket to Amersham from Luton? Isn't that
cheaper at £19 (less with a railcard)?

Well yes - I had thought about that but hadn't looked up the fares to
see how it compares with the other possibilities.

Over to you, Clive!
