Edward Davey has said South West Trains’ decision to place Kingston and Surbiton stations in zone six rather than zone five means passengers suffer from unreasonably high fares.
Both stations are only 12 miles from London, while 23 stations in zone five are actually further away from the capital.
Richmond Park MP Zac Goldsmith and Mr Davey met with transport minister Teresa Villiers on Tuesday, October 25. She agreed to let Surbiton academic and campaigner Dr Tim Leunig work alongside Department for Transport officials on the case.
