I presume Taplow will be it. *Ownership* boundary will be near Royal Oak. Station responsibility will be Taplow (Slough stays with GWR). Zone 6 is currently West Drayton for Oyster and Freedom Pass holders, I assume an extension ticket will be required for onward travel to Reading then? Freedom Pass/60+ Oyster holders only need a valid ticket of some type for the extended journey as no touch in/out or stopping of the train is required at the boundary station. PAYG Oyster needs a touch in/out at both ends of the journey within the Oyster zones to prevent a maximum fare being created. True, but I don't think we know yet how far west the Freedom Pass will run when the Elizabeth line opens: West Drayton, Taplow, or somewhere in between? And what zone(s) will the new stations be in for Oyster? Based on the current arrangements for FP/60+, "how far" is probably as far as the GLA regards as reasonable (see also Swanley and Dartford) to support GL residents going off-patch. West Drayton is the last bit of the GL conurbation, Iver is in comparative countryside so Langley or Slough would seem to be natural choices while anything west of Slough is arguably a trip into the countryside beyond. For paid Oyster it might be whatever the system can support, maybe in conjunction with sorting the anomoly which is going to result if/when Watford (Met) services (zone 7) are diverted to Watford Junction (zone 9 and a bit). next century you mean? Maybe not even that soon. ;-) |
