Whilst we're on the subject of boundary zone tickets, I occasionally
need to go to Chelmsford. At Liverpool Street I usually ask for a BZ2
to Chelmsford ticket but my request usually gets refused as I'm told
that there is no stop in Z2 from Liverpool Street towards Stratford. I
seem to recall reading that there's no requirement for there to be a
stop for a BZ tickets (unlike named stations), but have never felt
like arguing the toss for such a small amount. Who is right in this
case?

Thanks,

Luke

I don't have access to the latest NFM but in NFM05 the Boundary Zone 2
fares to Chelmsford were identical with the LST fares.

However, a BZ2-Chelmsford ticket is valid on routes other than Liverpool
Street to Chelmsford. The OP might want to travel by some other route
because he wants to make an intermediate stop elsewhere in zone 2. eg,
he might need to go to Finsbury Park (which is in zone 2) from which it
looks reasonable to get to Chelmsford via Tottenham Hale and Stratford.
