boundary station to being Z3 only.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the same happened at Hampstead Heath.

This is right.

Before the changes, you could go almost right round the North London
Line on a Z2-only ticket. This is much further than "typical" journeys
on such a ticket. A decision was made to bring such long journeys up to
more typical prices by placing some stations in Z3.

Anyone travelling a long way around now needs a Z2/3 ticket. Those
travelling along short segments can still do it with a single-zone
ticket; there should still be "short journey" tickets for those going
one or two stops that happen to cross a boundary.

Is this really unfair? I don't think so.
