To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what discussions she has had with (a) the Association of Train Operating Companies and (b) Transport for London in the last 12 months in relation to the re-zoning of overground train stations in Greater London; and if she will make a statement. (209916)

Ministers and officials in the Department have regular discussions with the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC) and Transport for London on London issues.

In the last 12 months there has been one item of correspondence with ATOC on station re-zoning. This was to agree to move three stations: Hampstead Heath from zone 3 to zone 2, Acton Central from zone 2 to zone 3 and Willesden Junction from zone 3 to the boundary of zone 2 and 3. These stations are all served by the London Overground Rail Concession.
