The campaign to rezone Surbiton and Kingston stations took a further step this week with MP Edward Davey writing to the London mayoral candidates to ask for their support.
Writing to the Mayor of London Ken Livingstone and Conservative mayoral candidate Boris Johnson, Mr Davey said: "As a result of being allocated to zone six despite being a zone five distance, Kingston and Surbiton stations saw single and day return ticket prices rise by over 35 per cent.
This is set to get much worse from January 2010, when seasonal tickets from Kingston and Surbiton will move to zonal pricing - so we could see increases of between £400 and £500 in annual rail tickets."
