Question

Can I get my season ticket from Ashford, Kent to London on an Oyster card?

Answer 1

No, Oyster cards are only valid in the zones.

Answer 2

No, I'm afraid you can't, you can only use oyster cards on the underground, no overground trains.

Answer 3

No you can't because Ashford is outside of the London Zonal Area.  You can buy a season ticket from Ashford with a Travelcard included.  This will look like

Ashford Intl R12346.  You can buy this as a weekly, monthly and, for any greater period up to, and including, a year, and enables you to travel in the London Zonal Area on your season.  Naturally this is more expensive than a simple point-to-point season.

I'd like to clarify what I see as some confusion about the Oystercard.  The Oystercard is a vehicle into which two distinct things can be uploaded.  

You can upload a weekly, monthly or yearly Travelcard, and this is valid on any trains in the zones that you have purchased.  Note that a one day travelcard uploaded onto an Oyster is not valid on the trains.

The other thing you can upload is pay-as-you-go, or, as it is sometimes called Prepay.

Prepay can only be used on those trains which run on the same track as tube trains - this primarily occurs in certain parts of the North London system.

This month, the line between Clapham Junction and Watford Junction, has also become available to Prepay.

A leaflet, Using the Oystercard on the Railway, is available from stations.

Sorry I can't answer your question. but, I do have one for you. I live in Canada and I have MS Train Simulator and I have a railway line from a place called Ashford running thru the chunnel into France at a place called Lille. My question is have you ever travelled this route and if so what was it like?
