Shoreditch High Street is is in Zone 1
We saw this poster at Rotherhithe Overground station the other day, and it’s always good to be reminded of what a complete lie it is.
“Please remember that fares are charged for all the zones you travel through” it says. Which is NOT the case if you get the Overground between Clapham Junction and Highbury & Islington.
Yes – you may come through Shoreditch High Street station which is in Zone 1, but as we clarified with TfL, as they don’t know which way round the Overground ‘circle’ you travelled, they have to assume that you went via Willesden Junction – which keeps you all in Zone 2, and so you pay the lower fare.
Just something worth remembering … !
