The Dutch Flyer goes to Hoek of Holland though. There are no services to Amsterdam. I object.

[snudge27]

But the ticket includes onward travel in the netherlands.

Quote from Wikipedia
"After arrival at Hoek van Holland Haven to any station in the Netherlands serviced by the Nederlandse Spoorwegen."

Wikipedia... That ever reliable source!!

4. There are services to Amsterdam from Liverpool Street station.
True. On the Dutchflyer

Just because you can buy a through ticket doesn't mean that there are services from Liverpool Street to Amsterdam.

Would you say that there are services to Mill Hill East from Chesham station? As you can buy a through ticket between the two.

7. When London underground services to Aylesbury stopped, Chesham became the furthest London underground station from Charing Cross.
False. Ongar was further away

According to Google Earth I make Charing Cross - Chesham as 25 miles and Charing Cross - Ongar about 21 miles.

4. Granted you need a ferry. But that spefic ticket from Liverpool Street station would take you to Holland

7. If this is true you need to edit the Wikipedia page for Chesham and Ongar
