Can somebody please remind me of current policy regarding buying add-on
tickets from Boundary Zone 6 on the GN (which don't exist these days, they
are issued from Hadley Wood, the boundary station) to stations beyond,
specifically Huntingdon/Peterborough, when purchased as add-ons to an
all-zones season ticket Travelcard?

*Is* it necessary to stop at the boundary station when making such a
journey? My understanding had always been that it was not, which was borne
out by the number of times that I've bought them, without problems, over the
years and had them inspected - without question. However, I recently had a
run-in with an over-zealous ticket office clerk at King's Cross, who refused
to sell me an add-on to my season ticket and insisted that I should buy a
King's Cross to Peterborough ticket instead. After I showed him the return
half of the previous one that I had bought and never been questioned on, he
capitulated.

They should not be - they should be issued from "BOUNDARY ZONE 6" as
they are on every other route. If they're not, they are a traditional
ticket combination and so the train must stop unless one of them is a
season.

For Hadley Wood - Huntingdon, the figures are £16.00 CDR, £17.00 SDR and
£19.00 SVR.

There aren't any Boundary Zone 6 - Peterborough tickets, however,
presumably due to PBO being outside the Network Area.

Only if the "other" ticket is *NOT* a Season ticket, as per Condition 19
of the NCoC.

Which, in the case of the OP, it is - he has (in his words) an "all-
zones season ticket Travelcard".

Note, by the way, that a "Boundary Zone" ticket is *not* a separate
ticket for the purposes of NCoC 19. Rather, it's a receipt for the
additional fare to extend your journey, so that your Travelcard
*becomes* the ticket valid for the journey to the named station.

[This was hammered into me the other day when Kentish Town actually
issued me a "zonal extension", on LU stock, when I asked for a BZ6 to
Luton ticket. The gates at Luton were happy with it, though.]

I'm fairly sure it did (I was running out of time before the train
arrived, so I only glanced at it). It certainly did not carry either the
term "Boundary Zone 6" or "Luton" on it.

I think so. The seller looked up the fare in a list which certainly had
Luton as the row heading, and then went to a discount table. I paid
4.25; is that the right price for a single with Gold Card discount?
