![]() I don't have an old tube map to hand, but I think the new one has moved lines around in the Hackney "Spaghetti Bowl", making it clearer and less geographically misleading. Finchley Road and West Hampstead are so close together they look like a single complex. When and why did Southwark lose its Arrow Of Indecision with "Waterloo East" written next to it?? The "London Connections" is green. Obviously the Chiltern service to Oxford is shown. Greenford is shown as a self-contained shuttle to West Ealing, even though most of the trains are still running through to Paddington. London Bridge's relationship with Charing Cross and Cannon Street has changed. The London Midland and Southern lines now cross each other just north of Willesden Junction... Why? Copyright protection, perhaps? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_street The Tfl Rail practice of not printing any timetables has spread to the London Overground. Since the Cheshunt Branch is never much more than half-hourly, this is disappointing. The Metropolitan Amersham printed timetable is probably no more as well. |

London Bridge's relationship with Charing Cross and Cannon Street has changed. All Greenford services except for one per day are cut back to West Ealing from the New Year. On a related note, platform 13 at Paddington has now closed for reconstruction as an extension to platform 12. |

The new platform will parallel the curve of platform 11. |

Does that make Greenford to Paddington a parly, in that case? On a related note, platform 13 at Paddington has now closed for reconstruction as an extension to platform 12. Or is that only a temporary move? |

Initally for extra electric trains to Hayes and Harlington, then to Maidenhead, then to release paths for Crossrail. |
