| Rail station in [[Locale Watford|Watford]]. |
Terminus of the Euston-Watford Line, part of the [[Category London Overground|London Overground]] network. Internally to TfL, it's considered as being in zone W for the purposes of Oyster PAYG and Travelcards, but "zone W" is never used on anything customer-facing. |

Unusually for TfL-enabled services, Watford Junction Station is in a secret Travelcard zone all of its own. Internally to TfL, it's considered as being in zone W for the purposes of Oyster PAYG and Travelcards, but "zone W" is never used on anything customer-facing. |
(The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watford_DC_Line Wikipedia entry on the Euston-Watford line] notes that services from here are advertised as being for [[South Hampstead Station|South Hampstead]] rather than [[Euston Station|Euston]], to dissuade people from using it to travel to Euston, but it doesn't say <i>why</i> they want people to be dissuaded; also, this line is the route that [http://journeyplanner.org/ JourneyPlanner] suggests between the two stations.) |

The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watford_DC_Line Wikipedia entry on the Euston-Watford line] notes that London Overground services from here are advertised as being for [[South Hampstead Station|South Hampstead]] rather than [[Euston Station|Euston]]; if travelling to (or from) Euston, it's faster to use the London Midland services, on which Travelcards and Oyster PAYG are accepted. |
