Hoping to go there tomorrow to video A Stock. Travelling by Oyster and here is theproblem. I am allowed 80mins between z6-5 and v.v. Do you think the station staff would allow me to log out, but stay on platform and then log in when i want to leave, or would it be better to oyster there and then get a ticket back which has no time restriction?

There are oyster readers on the platforms at Harrow IIRC. They are located by the stairs as well as by the subway so you won't have to go to the booking office.

So i can log out on the platform within the 80 mins, stay on platform for say 2hrs, hopefully enough to get the complete roster through, and then log in and return to whence i came? As a supplementry, how many A units will be rostered off peak 11.00-16.00? (reason is although i can log in and post on here, when i go to the Met line sub forum it ays i am a guest!!

Just to confirm if i may. I can go to a reader without going past the gates and log out. stay on the platform for say 2hrs, then go back to the same reader and log in for the return journey? Oh and as an aside how many A units are rostered to work between 11.00 and 16.00? (would post on the met line sub forum, but for some reason, it classifies me as a guest!

AIUI the readers are there so that you can finish your Underground journey and start a journey using a paperticket with Chiltern (and also the opposite direction).
I would suspect that you could encounter trouble if the station staff question you, particularly if you don't hold an onward Chiltern ticket.

One of those cardboard All Day or Off Peak Travelcards which one used to buy in the olden days?
I must get my skates on and do one last ride on an A stock myself.
All the best tomorrow with your filming, silverfoxcc.
