What zones do you think Bromley North and Bromley south should be in? I personally think that them being in 2 different zones is silly especially given the distance. I,'d move Bromley North to zone 5 as Bromley feels too far out to be a zone 4 town

I,'d move Bromley North to zone 5 as Bromley feels too far out to be a zone 4 town because Grove Park and Sunbridge Park are in Zone 4 as well. if Bromley North change to Zones 5 then people won't exchange from other lines to this train line to Bromley North from Grove Park. They will get the bus at fare cheaper! |

There’s the situation in Watford where the stations are in 3 different zones.
Watford Met - Zone 7
Bushey & Watford High Street - Zone 8
Watford Junction - Special Fares zone

Should all be in zone 7 considering Watford is not that far from London |

Watford Met - Zone 7 Bushey & Watford High Street - Zone 8 Watford Junction - Special Fares zone Watford Junction is special fares due to the Avanti services That's not it as Oyster isn't valid on Avanti services. Even with national rail tickets, I think Avanti services are officially drop-off/pick-up only, i.e. only valid towards Birmingham. So passengers travelling between Watford Junction and Euston have to use London Northwestern (or Overground) regardless of ticket type. There is a lot of inconsistency with the fare zones if you compare stations on the Overground & WCML to nearby ones on the Met Line. For example Chesham is about equivalent in distance to Berkhamsted (where oyster isn't valid), but with fares significantly cheaper than Watford Junction. |

It's clearly done to gear people towards certain stations, there is probably very good reasons why this happens. |
