Default North London Lines question

Willesden Junction used to be a boundary station, then they made it Z3 only.
I guess they wanted increased revenues from all the services that ran thru
there (e.g. the old North London Lines services from Richmond and the
cross-London services from Clapham Junction and beyond).

I agree that Stratford would be a good boundary station, but that wouldn't
happen, esp when the CTRL opens up thru that area. INCREASED REVENUE!

I was looking at the map. Apparently, unless I'm readnig wrong, the line

in Z3 from Kew to South Action, then a one stop venture into Z2 for

Central, then back to Z3 for one stop (Willseden), then back and forth!

Why not make the line an exception and allow Z2 and Z3 tickets (like,

for
example, Tramlink)?


Why not just shift the zone 2/3 boundary, so that Acton Central is in Z3
and Hampstead Heath is in Z2. As it stands, there are no possible in-zone
journeys for those stations!

I'd also argue for the stations where the line crosses the boundaries to
be in both zones, since these are Willesden Junction and Stratford, both
of which are useful interchanges and should be available from both sides.
