Counting the zones isn't always reliable or accurate, as you and

to Stratford doesn't go through zone one, but is priced as if it
does.)


Have we established that this is the case, or is it just conjecture
based on the status quo pre-London Overground? I'd be surprised if it
were [the case], given the obvious and immediate potential for
confusion, annoyance and bad PR...

The TfL Single Fare finder suggests it is priced as such - and I am
led to believe (perhaps wrongly) that the data used by that facility
matches that of the fares tables in the Oyster database.

I wouldn't rely on that finder being correct. I tried it a few months
ago for a journey via the WLL to Kensington and it offered a (not via
Zone 1) PAYG fare despite the route being invalid for PAYG.
