In message , at

Are current Oyster fares from central London to Harold Wood and
Brentwood identical (a "mid-Essex" zone) and if so what would Oyster
charge for a journey from Harold Wood to Brentwood?

Poor example as Harold Wood is within Greater London.

I meant Brentwood and Shenfield, sorry.

The single fare finder gives results that put Brentwood "beyond" zone
9.

And Shenfield "way beyond"?

The problem is the allocation of special zones for NR destinations
beyond zone 6. That eats up the additional zones that Oyster can cope
with.

How many zones can it cope with? Have you heard 15 too?

If TfL pricing could be applied to the extensions then there would be
three existing zones that could be tacked on to each line out of London.

That makes sense with the 15 minus 12 I mentioned earlier. But how does
Oyster handle fares from one of those "three on line A out of London"
and one of those "three on line B out of London"? Or doesn't it matter
if for example every "first station on one of the lines" is the same
price, and every "second station" and every "third station". In effect
three extra zones circling the Capital.
