On SWT, Thames Ditton, Hampton Court and Stoneleigh are outside Greater
London. (Curiously Whyteleafe *could* just about be in Greater London,
but is outside Z6).

Unless the platforms are very long, Whyteleafe station is (just) outside
Greater London, as shown at
http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.sr...&z=1&st=4&ar=N

It's a very close run thing.

To fit a 12-car train, the platforms would have to be at least 240m long
- assuming 20m per carriage. If built for 23m carriages it would need
to be 276m long.

At a rough guess (after looking at the map) a 250m long platform would
easily reach the boundary into Greater London - although it doesn't help
that the boundary line is about 50m wide, according to the map!

So to make the station outside the zones is *really* mean.
