As of now (Saturday 19:30)
https://tfl.gov.uk/maps links to a tube
map that does show the new Overground lines, but a London connections
map that doesn't, and an Overground map that doesn't. Very poor!


Surely the new map only comes into effect tomorrow?


Yes, and they've all been updated now (Sunday 1:40am)

Abellio have replaced the maps at their stations to show the newly-
adopted Overground lines as light grey "Other operator's services".

But not yet online:

I just realised the TfL bus maps haven't changed yet.

Oh yes they have. New Tube Map, Overground, TfL Rail and Tube and Rail

isn't for some strange reason.


There is a Freedom Pass .JPG available. There is an additional
colour: mauve. There are routes which change between mauve and
red, mauve and orange, mauve and dashed orange. And at Clapton
the meeting of all three colours.

There seem to be an awful lot of compromises (or bodges). For example
West Hampsted is shown as having a direct interchange between tube and
overground, whereas in fact you have to climb a long staircase, walk
along the road some way, cross the road, and then down another stairway,
passing two ticket barriers on the way.

I really don't understand the way that connections are depicted: it
seems totally unrelated to what passengers have to do in practice.

And TfL now have two stations called Bethnal Green with no connection
shown. Perhaps it didn't cause confusion when one was a "tube" station
and one a "railway" station, but now both are part of the tube map that
may not still apply.

You're right, someone looking at that map would never guess that the nearby
Finchley Road connection is actually much, much easier (ie, cross-platform)
than the cumbersome West Hampstead connection that you accurately describe.

Maybe they need a symbol on the interchange that's the opposite to a
Wheelchair -- perhaps a stairs icon?

It can join the two Edgware Roads...
