Despite being on a fast main line to London every train is pretty much
all stations so it will always take 35-40 minutes and it's one stop
beyond boundary zone six, which makes an annual travelcard ?2,500
instead of ?1,784.


And a Brentwood-Harold Wood season is more than ?716? Makes the
Travelcard look like absurdly good value for money.


I thought that, so looked it up. 720 pounds. SDR is 5.80. So no loophole
there.
