Default Will Travelcard Zone 6 ever expand to include Dartford stattion?

And to include Swanley?. Both stations are within the M25 area and are
included in the Freedom Pass area (and quite sensibly too...)

Dartford in particular is an important interchange for the three lines to
the west through Bexley.


The problem with this is where will it end.

If zone 6 is extended to include stations which are currently just
outside the existing area, then any stations which then lie outsdie an
enlarged area look as if they can be justified too.

IMHO, what needs to be looked at is not extending B6, but making a new
B7 as a new outer ring in the zone systems.

Else one ends up with the TC extending across the entire south east.
Such a ticket across the south east is probably needed, but then
starts to get complex.
