Question about Travelcard

Hello!

I've got a Child Zones 1-6 travelcard, but I want to travel to Staines on Monday morning.

Does this mean I have to buy a complete new ticket because Staines isn't in Zones 1-6.

It's just outside Zone 6 I believe.

I'll be coming from London Waterloo. Can I buy an extra 'add-on' ticket?

Thanks =)

Stephen

    Thanks TicketCollector! =)

    Must have been £1.20 then.

    Are both tickets valid?

    Does the Boundary Zone 6 have restrictions as well?
