Thanks!

Where do boundary zone's tickets become available from?

Thanks!

The boundary station is Harold Wood, although Romford is also in zone 6. Don't forget though that a travelcard is a day product so you would need 2 whereas your return is valid over both days.

Yep - I know - do you know from which station an the GEML can I buy a ticket to BZ6?

 

[Dewedin]

I think it's Colchester

In general, the former NSE stations are those that have tickets from BZ6. Until relatively recently I was told that tickets were only available from BZ6, not to. However it does appear to be the case that they are available to BZ6 (at least according to Avantix Traveller).

Anyway Manningtree is the furthest station out of LST that has fares to/from BZ6, which is unsurprising as it's the furthest that is in the former NSE area.

Even more bizarrely, there is an Off Peak Return to BZ6. Note this however, it may only be valid if you hold a Travelcard season. Tickets to/from BZ6 are only valid with a Travelcard.

Two singles to/from BZ6 would be madness.
