Default Southall - Zonal fare rip-off?

There is always the possibility that it is a non-existent place,
though - I was recently asked for a single to "Bell Common Green".
Turned out it was Bush Hill Park (Enfield) he wanted.

There is also the possibility that the passenger gives the name of a
station, but actually wants to go somewhere entirely different. The Southern
Region's prime example was Grove Park. The passenger may want the junction
for the Bromley North branch, but he might possibly really want Chiswick (as
Chiswick station is in the area known as Grove Park).
