Default Distance Based Zone Boundaries

(apologies for the earlier incomplete post)

Following the recent discussions on redrawing the zone boundaries I
thought it would be interestint to work out what the boundaries would look
like on a pure distance based system. All stations were placed into zones
according to their distance from Charing Cross. The number of stations was
kept constant so for each station that moves in, one has to move out.

In general it seems that boundaries are too close together in North and
South London and too far apart in East and West London.

Im a bit confused by your post? Are you saying that for example Pinner and
South Ruislip have moved into Zone 6?
