Not a zone change, but the NLL is obviously missing!


I'm not sure this is the version intended for leaflets and posters. It's
also missing mobility impaired access.

Also compared to the June 06 version I note they're now showing a restricted
through service for Hainault loop trains at Woodford (previously it was
shown as loop trains just terminating), as well as making the Chesham Met
branch a clear shuttle with the odd through service, rather than than just
sending people to the notes.

No. Seems a faintly odd change, doesn't it? If you look at a map it
seems very strange that Chigwell should be in zone 4, yet places like
Chingford, Becontree and Chadwell Heath should still be zone 5.

Is it because of some action by Epping Forest DC? The loop also got services
after 8pm on weekdays recently, I wonder if they had any hand in it?

It could also just be a "simplification" so it doesn't matter which way
round the loop you go, the fare will be the same.

Chigwell and Becontree are similar distances from Charing Cross (about 12
miles), so it does seem unfair that Becontree is in zone 5 (especially given
it is in Greater London, while Chigwell is just outside).

Ditto Mill Hill East. Unless i'm being as unobservant as usual and this
has been the case for a while.

I was at Chigwell earlier today and saw a poster stating that the

on the TfL website about it. I'm sure I didn't imagine the poster!


I have not seen any text actually mentioning the transfer of the loop to
zone 4, but if you look at the new tube zone map for 2007 it is changed.

Or, even better, an online version of the 'high frequency services' map?

There is a National Rail version of the London Connections map that
specifies individual rail services and train operators (for the high
frequency services at least).
