Also I read a story on the Kingston Times website that says SWT are
considering extending Zone 6 out to "stations such as Esher, Hinchley
Wood and Claygate" [3].

Those three stations are all within the extended urban sprawl that is
London. And Hinchley Wood even has 020 phone numbers (to the east of the
railways line). To that extent they "deserve" to be in Z6 just as much
as Thames Ditton and Hampton Court.

The next stations out, however, are outside that sprawl (just).
