I'd agree. I think anything up to about 500m which provides a decent
connection is worth showing - as long as the distance is clearly
stated. London Overground in particular becomes a lot more useful when
viewed in those terms. It's a mystery to me why Camden Town/Camden
Road isn't shown as a possible connection.


I broadly agree with the notion above, but as John B says...



AIUI it's to deter people from using Camden Town, which is already
massively overcrowded.


Camden Town isn't perpetually crowded of course, but it often is - and
LU won't be keen on encouraging yet more people to pass through this
very busy station, which is what would be likely to happen if it was
shown as an interchange on the Tube map, the London Overground network
map or the Northern line linear maps (i.e. those displayed in the
carriages).


That is terribly depressing, isn't it? What happened to the rebuilding
plans?
