Distance Based Zone Boundaries
Following the recent discussions on redrawing the zone boundaries I decided
to work out what the boundaries would look like on a pure distance based system. All stations were placed into zones according to their distance from Charing Cross. The number of stations was kept constant so for each station that moves in, one has to move out. STATIONS MOVING IN Zone 2 to Zone 1 Battersea Park, Camden Road, Camden Town, Kennington, Mornington Crescent, Oval, Queenstown Road (Battersea) Zone 3 to Zone 2 Balham, Cricklewood, Crouch Hill, Hampstead Heath, Harringay, Harringay Green Lanes, Highgate, Stamford Hill, Streatham Hill, Tooting Bec, Tulse Hill, Wandsworth Common, West Dulwich Zone 4 to Zone 3 Anerley, Arnos Grove, Beckenham Hill, Finchley Central, Kent House, Lower Sydenham, New Beckenham, New Southgate, Penge East, Penge West, Wembley Park, Wembley Stadium, West Finchley Zone 5 to Zone 4 |

What would be the point of a distance based scheme? |

Harringay and Harringay Green Lanes would then be moving to zone 2,
but Manor House (further south) would still be 2/3? Would that not become 2 as well, making Turnpike lane 2/3 maybe? |
