There is a map here...

Don't know how up to date it is.

What a strange choice of stations outside of GL that are included.

Grays/Elstree/Epsom Downs in, Epsom/Dartford/Swanley not.

Given that there are Zones 7-9 for outside of GL it seems strange not to
use them for the stations at the appropriate distance, at least for
those places that the bus network extends to


Grays (including the whole of the Upminster route) is actually outside the
zones though (as is Watford Junction). Epsom Downs (and the rest of the
branch) is actually pretty close to the GL border and the Tattenham Corner
branch, especially Kingswood - Tadworth is much further out. I think both
of these routes got included as they are on branch lines with termini just
outside the GL boundary. Elstree is also only just outside the boundary. I
think the strangest of the exclusions is Dartford, as it is a natural
terminus for many of the Inner Suburban services and is so close to the GL
boundary.
