That must be the most geographically confusing part of the map ever! A tourist might well think that Reading was a mere stroll from Northolt. Anyway, that's a reminder for me to try out my Freedom pass on the new route in about 10 days. |

I wonder how long it'll take them to get it out after then? |

Apology accepted, I don't think it is! The map is getting ever more 'who runs it' than 'what is it', and to have Reading but not Thameslink or Surbiton (of course) is ridiculous. It should be a map of London's frequent rail services, extended to reasonable outlying places like Shenfield, Watford, Dartford and Epsom and that's about it. There have been maps like that, but I think this should be the standard. Infrequent lines and stations could be shown differently to avoid over-complication. Richard. |

Yes, this map should be called the TfL trains map (obviously not TfL Rail, as that's already used). It's crazy that it ignores the GN Moorgate line and Thameslink. But there is a more complete map available: https://londonmap360.com/carte/pdf/en/london-rail-map.pdf I'm not sure how often this is updated. |

Tramlink and its routes are shown and Americans call Cable Cars Aerial Tramways. GH |
