Anyway my main point is that there's no point in Shoreditch High Street
being in two zones - i.e. in Z1/2 - if all the destinations to the
north or south will be in zone 2. It will be in a single zone - either
zone 1 or zone 2.

I'd hope it'll be in zone 2, as - despite what you say - it's an
orbital rail route, designed in part to mean people who want to get
around London can do so without going through central London. Keeping
it in zone 2 means it's a cheaper journey as well - so it encourages
people to avoid the busy zone 1 route and also serves part of it's
purpose well in connecting up communities better.

I'd hope that as the TfL blurb states that Shoreditch High Street will
replace Shoreditch on the ELL, that it too would be in the same zone as the
station that it is replacing; i.e. Zone 2. But I've not seen the
origin/destination forecasts for ELL.

However (ignoring interchange functions) given that stations such as Old
Street and Aldgate East are in physically and functionally similar locations
(in respect of them being destination stations) and are in Zone 1, I
wouldn't be toooooo surprised if we see SHS becoming a Zone 1 station,
particularly with the creep of new high-rise development to the North, with
several other sites like the Broadgate Tower coming forward between now and
2010.
