wouldn't have any of these problems about Watford Junction fares - so
perhaps you can blame those who made influenced and made this decision
back in the early 60's!

Watford wasn't in the Greater London proposed by the Herbert
Commission, no (or in the Royal Commission of 1923). The bits that
got excluded were mainly in the south-west - but also Cheshunt and
Chigwell.
