Maybe you could get a consensus to change the definition. When the
newsgroup was set up, it seemed important to include more than just
the administrative London, or more than just the "020" phone area,
and even more than "inside the M25". But you do have to stop
somewhere.

Not Nottingham or Cambridge then? ;-)

Nope. There's a charter here [1] which stops a long way from either.
Although journeys with one end in London seem to qualify (eg Gatwick to
Richmond).

[1] Usenet not train.
