Not a zone change, but the NLL is obviously missing!


I'm not sure this is the version intended for leaflets and posters. It's
also missing mobility impaired access.

Also compared to the June 06 version I note they're now showing a restricted
through service for Hainault loop trains at Woodford (previously it was
shown as loop trains just terminating), as well as making the Chesham Met
branch a clear shuttle with the odd through service, rather than than just
sending people to the notes.

I was at Chigwell earlier today and saw a poster stating that the
station would be moving to zone 4 from 2nd January 2007 (it's
currently in zone 5). This is the first I've heard of this, and
there's nothing on the TfL website about it. I'm sure I didn't
imagine the poster!

Anyone know any more, are any other stations moving - I'd guess
the whole Hainault loop is going into zone 4?


Yes. See:

Hmm. The North London Line removed from the tube map again.

No. Seems a faintly odd change, doesn't it? If you look at a map it
seems very strange that Chigwell should be in zone 4, yet places like
Chingford, Becontree and Chadwell Heath should still be zone 5.

Is it because of some action by Epping Forest DC? The loop also got services
after 8pm on weekdays recently, I wonder if they had any hand in it?

It could also just be a "simplification" so it doesn't matter which way
round the loop you go, the fare will be the same.

Chigwell and Becontree are similar distances from Charing Cross (about 12
miles), so it does seem unfair that Becontree is in zone 5 (especially given
it is in Greater London, while Chigwell is just outside).

Does this make Chigwell the only party of Zone 4 outside Greater London.

Ditto Mill Hill East. Unless i'm being as unobservant as usual and this
has been the case for a while.

I have not seen any text actually mentioning the transfer of the loop to
zone 4, but if you look at the new tube zone map for 2007 it is changed.

Or, even better, an online version of the 'high frequency services' map?

The Worcester Park station is in zone 4 and it is right at the boundary
of Greater London, but I do not know if it is actually within or outside.

There is a National Rail version of the London Connections map that
specifies individual rail services and train operators (for the high
frequency services at least).
