Fare zones 7âÂÂ9 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. 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", and the London Area Ticketing in National Rail does not apply in these zones.
Fare zones 10âÂÂ15 (or AâÂÂF by their hexadecimal number) are for stations accepting Oyster card with 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 from Piccadilly Circus.
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 1âÂÂ6, they do not form complete rings around London but rather patches. They include eight London Underground stations on the Metropolitan line and London Overground stations. Also, Travelcards season tickets for these zones are only sold in limited combinations, unlike in Zones 1-6 where all combinations covering at least two consecutive zones are sold, and outboundary Travelcards (one which includes travel between a station outside the zonal system and some numbered zones) do not include travel in Zones 7-9 unless specifically stated.
Zone 7 consists of the Hertfordshire stations on the Metropolitan Line and the first London Overground and West Anglia Main Line stations outside zone 6.
Zone 8 consists of , the remaining London Overground stations where TfL set fares, and stations in Kent where Oyster is valid.
