Unless I missed any, the following areas in the network are (or are soon to be) covered by zonal fare systems provided either by Passenger Transport Executives or local authorities:
For instance, Upholland appears neither to be in the Merseyside nor the Greater Manchester zonal fare system; neither is Bescar Lane to Parbold, nor Widnes to Birchwood. New Mills to Grindleford is "left out" of both Greater Manchester and South Yorkshire. If travelling via XC, Cheltenham Spa is neither MetroWest nor West Midlands.
Perhaps more interestingly, where have zonal fare systems (or where will they) come to interact, either with a station serving as overlap or in-between two?
For instance, Denby Dale station has been amalgamated into the WYPTE Metro, previously having been adrift between it and South Yorkshire. Chester straddles North Wales and Mersyside zonal fares, where no such overlap exists on the Wrexham to Bidston line.
What other "fun" is there?
