Isn't Watford Junction outside Zone 9? I thought it comprised just
Chesham and Amersham.
Correct, nearly. Watford Junction is just outside Zone 8, because
in that area there is no Zone 9.
So the OP's ticket was not valid for a journey to Watford Junction then?
AIUI from many previous discussions, you can apparently buy a normal
outboundary travelcard from Watford Junction TO zones 1-6, (not sure on
zones 1-9), but the leg from Watford Junction to 'the zones', although
short, is just like the leg from say Cambridge to the zones. So with an out
boundary travelcard from WJ you'd have your normal one jouney in and one
return, and if you started from within the zones with a normal Z1-6
travelcard you'd need an extension from BZ6 to WJ.
No idea if there even is such a thing as an extension from BZ8 - Watford
Junction though....
By the way - for those still wondering, have a look at the text in the
orange box next to WJ on the standard tube map - you can see why people
might expect it to be in Zone 9 though...
