Tfl have released a new tube map with London Overground on..

Still has that offensive advertising for a mobile phone company on it.

Where does it have the offensive advertising?

I believe James is grumpy that TfL have mentioned the only reason why
anyone might choose to go to North Greenwich as part of the station's
name on the map.

He should get over to a more recent thread and grump up about what they've
done to Gillespie Road!

I believe Herbert Chapman paid for that...

But critically you can't prove it, which is all part of the genius of
the great Mr Chapman!

How he persuaded UERL to change the station's name from Gillespie Road
to Arsenal is hazy - whether the reasoning for this has been lost in
the mists of time, or was perhaps a little less than opaque in the
first place (cough cough, splutter splutter), is up for the reader to
decide ;-)

Was Mr Chapman not a 'good friend' of the Chairman or UERL, Lord
Ashfield ...?

It would be pretty mischievous to suggest that the 1930's aren't
called Golden Age for London's transport for nothing, so I won't.
