I may be mistaken but isn't the Central Line itself the

the fares cheaper.


Chigwell is well outside Greater London. Roding Valley and Grange Hill
are just outside but on the boundary.

Buckhurst Hill and Loughton are well outside too. I don't see why the old
zonal boundary was North of Loughton, to be honest.



The top bit of the Hainault loop used to be outside of the zones, and
I think was brought in before Epping.

Although, in terms of distance, there is a chunk bitten out of Greater
London in the Chigwell area, so you leave London after relatively
little mileage.

I can't think of anywhere that the Central Line is the London boundary
(earlier question). It cuts across.
