Extension

 

Passengers must have a single valid ticket for their entire journey.

Exceptions to this are Yearly, Date-to-Date, Monthly and Weekly ticket holders who may  use that ticket beyond the zone or locations for which the ticket is valid by purchasing a 2 hour,  Daily or Single ticket for the additional zone or locations.

The ‘extension ticket’ must be purchased before the journey. If this is not possible by taking all reasonable steps before the journey, the ticket must be purchased as soon as there is a reasonable opportunity during the journey or, if there is no reasonable opportunity during the journey at the completion of the journey.

If the extension ticket is a Metcard, then it must be validated as soon as there is a reasonable opportunity during the journey or, if there is no reasonable opportunity during the journey, then it must be validated as soon as taking all reasonable steps will permit after the journey, in accordance  with the conditions set out later in this chapter under the heading “Validation and Re-validation of Metcards”.
