Please bear in mind that the statement from Boris a couple of weeks ago is more recent than communications from July. Back in July is was thought that the rezoning of Shoreditch would not effect through journeys (for all those people from Dalston flocking to Forest Hill), but since then it has become clear that all travel through Shoreditch will be counted the same as if you had crossed central London, zone 1.

It is wonderful to hear that TfL are so concerned about potential loss of revenue for Southern Trains, the company that will be charging the same for season tickets from December and May despite cutting our services during the evening peak, daytime off-peak, and evening services from Charing Cross. Why can't the rail authorities think for once about what would be best for passengers rather than most profitable?
