London: 1. n. The place that is (a) zone 1 or 2, (b) north of the river, and (c) 020 7. 2. n. slang. A place displaying some, but not all, of the above characteristics
To me, that conversation between the girls on the train sounds like parody, the other two pointing out the flaw in the firsts grammar. Whether the preposition was totally absent, or just extraordinarily subsumed into the other words, I'm not sure. My mind keeps on telling "Trouble at t'pit", just to give a different accent where it could seem to be absent, when pronounced.
