TfL redraws east London fare boundary

8th January 2016

Transport for London has redrawn the Zone 3 fare boundary, creating a new Zone 2/3 region. Stratford, Stratford High Street, Stratford International DLR station, West Ham, Canning Town, Star Lane and Abbey Road have all been rezoned, meaning the stations will be classed in Zone 2 or 3 depending on which way the passenger is travelling, giving the cheapest travel option for the journey. Anyone travelling Stratford to Westminster will be charged a Zone 2 to Zone 1 fare, while anyone journeying eastward will be charged as if from Zone 3. Sir Robin Wales, Mayor of Newham, said: “We’ve been campaigning for this for some time. The truth is London's moving eastwards and it’s sensible to reduce the cost of travel. It's going to encourage people to come to Stratford, West Ham and Canning Town, which will be great”.
