I'd be tempted to go for a four map approach -

- tube map which just shows LU and DLR.
- TfL rail services map which shows LU, DLR, Overground, Crossrail,
other devolved rail services
- an updated version of the Oyster rail services map which shows all
rail services but with a focus on the terminal they run from.
- a full Rail services map which shows the service patterns run on the
respective networks. This would not be a simple map but it would at
least show the service structure and who runs it. This will be
important with the multiple service patterns through Crossrail and
Thameslink and the residual SWT, Southern and South Eastern routes.

It is debateable whether you would publish all 4 in paper format but
making them available on the web should not be unduly difficult.

Would No2 serve any real transport (rather than political) purpose,
other than perhaps to reassure north Londoners venturing south that
there are some trains which they might be able to understand?

Miaow.

A friend who has lived all her life in Haringey(?) and the City once
phoned me to come and meet her at Wimbledon, where the District Line runs
out before the place she needed to get to.

perhaps she had heard (and believed) the linking line's nickname :-)

There is still one train a day between Clapton and Tottenham Hale, the
2340 Liverpool Street - Hertford East.

Thanks - no wonder I didn't spot it. Locked away at the end of
service. Am I correct in thinking that at some point there were
regular services stopping at Clapton and T Hale?


I used to commute between CHingford and Liverpool Street to go to school
back in the late 60s / early 70s, before the Lea Valley line was
electrified. There was a hourly (IIRC) DMU service from Liv St to
Cheshunt up the Lea Valley that stopped at Clapton and I'm pretty sure
it stopped at Tottenham Hale too.

For a lad brought up on the EMUs to Liv St it was an enticing sight -
and smell!
