List of stations in London fare zones 7–9

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Zone B" redirects here. For the region of Italy under Yugoslav military administration 1945-47, see Morgan Line § Zone B.

Fare zones 7–9 are ancillary zones of the Travelcard and Oyster card fares scheme managed by Transport for London, used for calculating fares from some stations outside Greater London that are not in zones 4, 5 and 6.[note a] Travelcards are available on Oyster with validity in these zones. They are not included in the validity of National Rail out-boundary Travelcards unless mentioned in the Route section as "AAA LDN ZONE 7-9". Fare zones 10-15 (or A-F by their hexadecimal number) have fares set by National Rail train operating companies and the zones themselves are not publicised. The fare zones are outside Greater London, typically more than 16 miles (26 km) from Piccadilly Circus.

Scope[]

The zones extend in segments from the boundary of Greater London to the north and west into Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, to the east into Essex and Kent and to the south into Surrey and West Sussex. Unlike zones 1–6, they do not form complete rings around London but rather patches.[1] They include eight London Underground stations on the Metropolitan line and London Overground stations.

Special Zones[]

These zones have their fares set by National Rail companies. Zones are referred to by their decimal or hexadecimal number. Zones are allocated corridors extending out from London, rather than the roughly concentric circles that the non-special zones have.
