New 'London Connections' map with added LO and new family member, TfL Rail
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: http://www.abelliogreateranglia.co.u...ation/journey- planning/network-map -- Roland Perry |

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. -- Roger |

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. -- Clive Page |

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. I really don't understand the way that connections are depicted: it seems totally unrelated to what passengers have to do in practice. Maybe they need a symbol on the interchange that's the opposite to a Wheelchair -- perhaps a stairs icon? 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. It can join the two Edgware Roads... |
