I'm aware of why Epsom Downs, Tattenham Corner and Caterham were included,
though it still doesn't make sense. If this was about tidying up
terminating lines that go just over the boundary (and it's a pretty big
stretch to say that the TC and Caterham lines go *just* over) what about
Sheperton?

It's not that they go just over the border, but that from those stations
you can only go into London.

Not true for Ewell East and West - next station is Epsom also Upper
Warlingham.

I wonder if it is the stations are unmanned most of the day and the main
journeys are to London so Oyster forcing a touch in/out gets the NR TOC
more revenue?
