Moving Watford Junction to Zone 6 would reportedly slash train costs to Euston from £11.20 to £5.50.
Liberal Democrat and Labour members of Watford Borough Council are set to tell the Mayor of London he must be prepared to support rail and bus passengers in Hertfordshire.
“As somebody who has been campaigning to get us into Zone 6 for the past 15 years, I would say I’m almost priced out of travelling into London,” said Liberal Democrat councillor Marilyn Devonish .“That’s a lot of cash – and I’m talking about using the Oyster Card, which is the usually the cheapest way to travel.”
Watford councillors said they fear they are “subsidising” Londoners, particularly after TfL backed out of a project to run a tube line between Croxley and Watford Junction in 2018. “TfL already directly collects fares from residents travelling in from Watford Metropolitan line, Watford Junction and Bushey.
“We need to do something about those vehicles whether they travel into London, or don’t travel into London.
