If anyone does have any knowledge of this upcoming change to zones 7-9
please do feel free to share it!

Quite.

When I bought my ticket from Harrow & Wealdstone this morning, there
was a tube map stuck to the top of the machine with zones 7, 8 and 9
shown on it. It was relatively small though, and there was a queue, so
all I managed to see was what was already confirmed, namely that Hatch
End is in 6, Carpenders Park in 7, Bushey and Watford HS in 8, and
Watford Junction in 9. I still think it's almost criminal that zone 6
is so narrow around those parts...Carpenders Park should be in 6, if
indeed not Bushey as Moor Park and West Ruislip somehow manage it.

I'll see if I can spot anything else of use this evening.

Perhaps I haven't been following things closely enough but I wasn't
aware that the zonal changes up to Watford Junction had in fact been
confirmed - though this map you've seen would appear to confirm it.

That'd appear to put paid to my elaborate fantasy plan of having
lettered zone suffixes (zone 9M, 7G and so on - described upthread)!

Zones 7-9 thus appear to be a new device so as to include the Watford
Junction line into the zonal system - so whilst the original
speculation that it might be included in zone A isn't accurate, it
will join the zonal system albeit in a slightly different manner.

Ok, it would seem that I made a minor error, zone 9 is indeed shown on
the map, but only Chalfont & Latimer resides in it. Watford junction
now has the dubious honour of being the new owner of Hatch End's
former special orange-outlined box stating that special fares apply,
though Watford High St. definitely lives in zone 8. Only had a quick
glance again though, a rather sultry looking LO employee was standing
in front of said machine overseeing the heaving crowds coming through
the newly-active barriers (Hmm. roughly 1/3 of a 8-car trainload of
people heaving down steep steps to a barrier line 1/2 a metre from the
bottom of said stairs. I suspect there'll be trouble soon enough if
they don't extend the ticket hall to give more space.....

Typing this post does raise the question of what zone Chesham and
Amersham are in if not 9 though as I can't remember at all...can't say
I noticed a zone 10.
