This *might* be a mayor-inspired thing. If you look at his ON Network
network map, Epsom looks like a dead neat interchange. I wouldn't be
too surprised if TfL and Surrey CC manage to come to some agreement to
extend the Z6 boundary to at least Epsom (which would make me very
happy).

Well anyone who commutes from Norbury to zone 6 will now pay for four zones
(3,4,5,6) instead of three (4,5,6). I am sure though that the vast majority
of travellers go in rather than out and will benefit.

DOH! I was thinking that people travelling out from the centre would be
better, not worse off. I had a horrible feeling I was missing something
*really* obvious!
