[ellx in zone 1 or not]

If the boundary did not curve then Shoreditch
would most certainly be in Zone 1 - after all the nearest bus stops on
Bethnal Green Road for routes 8 and 388 most certainly are.


Except that I thought all the buses were no longer zoned up - so it doesn't
matter what zone they're in as they're not used on buses anymore (you can
use any zone travelcard on any buses regardless of if you're in the right
zone or not as long as it's on a valid day for the ticket). So, the only
issue with the zones being redrawn to ensure that the ellx stays within a
minimum of zone 2 would be if there's already existing tube or train
stations nearby.
