I'm planning a day trip to travel on the whole of the Elizabeth Line. As an ex-Londoner who vainly hoped that 'Crossrail' would arrive in time to help my travel in the city, I'm keen to now experience it in action - better late than never?
My planned journey is:
Winchester
Waterloo
Canary Wharf
Abbey Wood
Whitechapel
Shenfield
Whitechapel
Hayes & Harlington
Heathrow
Hayes & Harlington
Reading
Winchester
I have some queries about how I pay for my travel.

I have some queries about how I pay for my travel.
- I will be using an Oyster card from Waterloo. At terminus stations i.e. Abbey Wood and Shenfield, do I have to get off my incoming train, tap out and tap in again before retracing my steps?
- The Elizabeth Line diagram says that there are 'special fares' between Brentwood and Shenfield. Are these included in the Oyster card or do I need to buy an extra ticket? If the latter, do I need to tap my Oyster card out at Brentwood and then in again on the return journey?
- I am aware that Oyster does not cover Hayes & Harlington to Reading, and that I will need to buy an extra ticket. Do I have to tap my Oyster card out at Hayes & Harlington before travelling on to Reading?
