There's a poster at my local station which says that, from 2 Jan 05,
Norbury will be in zone 3 instead of zone 4, and Belmont and Cheam will
be transferred from zone 6 to zone 5. This will be good news to people
who commute from those stations to inner London,

but not so good for
those who travel in the opposite direction.

Why? Am I missing something really obvious here?



Well anyone who commutes from Norbury to zone 6 will now pay for four zones
(3,4,5,6) instead of three (4,5,6). I am sure though that the vast majority
of travellers go in rather than out and will benefit.

DOH! I was thinking that people travelling out from the centre would be
better, not worse off. I had a horrible feeling I was missing something
*really* obvious!
