TFL seem to have pulled the new map from their website.
I wonder what the issue is http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/colourmap.gif |

![]() Hatch End to Watford Junction are depicted as outside the zones (not even in A-D). "Special Fares Apply" GOBLIN becomes the only line on a tube map not to be electrified. Can't see GOBLIN shown on it.- The map has been changed since the original poster put up the message! Too many mistakes maybe? Burkey |

I heard from the very mouth of Ken last week that two unnamed stations are to be moved. What is the second one? Willesden Junction? Stratford? For practical reasons, I'd say Willesden, as every neighbouring station (other than those north) is in zone 2: Shepherd's Bush, Acton Central, Kensal Green & Kensal Rise. It'll be very annoying using PAYG through WJ until it's moved... |

I heard from the very mouth of Ken last week that two unnamed stations are to be moved. The original link is now back to the old non-Overground map. Looks like releasing it early was a mistake. The only item Google threw up about HH moving to zone 2 was a Camden News article, saying it would happen in Jan 08; which supports my suggestion that the Overground fares are somehow related to National Rail zonal fares, as I mentioned yesterday...

I go through Watford junction station most work days. They have
installed Oyster readers (up to the silverlink county platforms), however they do not work yet. Looks like Oyster will be used as far as Watford junction. I expect that the oyster cards will be only valid on LO services not London Midland (the new TOC that takes over from Silverlink and Central). This will cause lots of ticket inspectors to rub their hands in glee. Most people come to Watford on a travel card (Met, junction and town) and wonder why their travel card/oyster doesn't work. It is horrid to see someone rubbing their card on the barrier and the barrier guard swooping down for the £20+ fine.

I thought that TfL was going to bring this station back into Zone 2 when London Overground starts next month Yes, I'd spotted that and was asking myself the same question! I've an idea we've talked round this a bit in various poster's comments. Perhaps it'll change in January with the next routine NR fares changes, and so might the northern bit of the DC lines. It would make sense if 'LO' is considered (as on NR's site) one of the TOCs and changes will affect NR fares from stations outside the London fare zones (the ones TfL call the TfL fare zones)...

This will cause lots of ticket inspectors to rub their hands in glee. There has been a huge amount of discussion on this already, (most recently in the thread about TfL staff pass validity - started 12 Oct) and it was generally believed that London Midland will continue accepting Oyster, at least at the stations where it is already available on Silverlink County - what happens at WJ is awaited with interest. Also the key date in all this is the day NR fares change, in January, because Silverlink Metro fares use rail pricing at the moment, not LU... Paul |
