Looking at my handy and informative central London bus map, I noticed
that the locations of several proposed East London Line stations
(Shoreditch, Hoxton, and possibly Haggerston as well) are inside the
zone 1 boundary.

I think it's unlikely that they'll remain there on the final line

why do you imagine that it is unlikely they'll stay in Zone 1?


What use is an orbital line if it passes through Zone 1?



What, you mean like how the NLL goes through zone 2?


Er... yeah? I was trying to point out that any journey passing through
Zone 1 incurs significant extra expense; therefore an orbital journey,
which probably will take longer than a journey via Z1, should *avoid* Z1
to make it more attractive economically.
