The ATOC London Connections map, alongside the London & South East map
and others are available online in PDF format from the National Rail website at... http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/maps.htm ...though it would appear that the new London Connections map has not yet been made available online, the one on the site being dated January 2005. I have just looked at the london connections map on the page and it does contain heathrow connect. Indeed. The page has now been updated with the new map. |

There's a new London Connections map out with Heathrow Connect depicted as a seperate service between Ealing Broadway & Heathrow Terminals 1,2 & 3. The BAA stations are depicted outside the Zone 6 shading. It also has updated the opening dates for Shepherds Bush & Imperial Wharf to 2006. (These two stations were listed as calling points for the Silverlink service on the platform indicator at Clapham Junction yesterday) ![]() What's the limited service operated by Southern around the Thameslink Wimbledon loop? That seems to be new. -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |

Looking at the Thameslink timetable for March-May 2004, there are seven such services shown in the morning peak M-F, and five in the evening peak, all originating at London Bridge. -- Terry Harper Website Coordinator, The Omnibus Society http://www.omnibussoc.org |

Other changes I've noticed: - New limited SET service between Elephant & Castle and Herne Hill - No more Thameslink blockade - Kilburn High Road is (at last) shown as being temporarily closed - Sudbury Hill Harrow is now shown as an interchange station with Sudbury Hill, and is no longer shown as a limited service station - New limited Southern service via Bookham |

- New limited Southern service via Bookham Does that go to Guildford? There were a few peak hour trains in the old days - I think a hangover sop from the withdrawal of Thameslink. |

I wonder why the map makers didn't use the usual technique of adding the new route in an 'under construction' outline. Plus has Sudbury Hill Harrow looks like it loses it's 'limited service' station symbol simply because it's incompatible with the 'interchange station' symbol. A brief timetable check suggests it doesn't benefit from anything more than a train an hour off-peak. I'm all for pointing out the proximity of stations to one another on a map, but in this instance it looks like the passenger both wins and loses in the battle for gleaning useful travel information from this map. |

But no services shown out of St Pancras ?
Probably because (Midland Mainline) services out of St Pancras dont stop anywhere inside the London Connections map area, the same as GNER services from Kings X are not shown[1]. Though, FGW services aren't shown[1], and I seem to remember they had a select few services stopping at Slough. [1] All these services Are shown on the Ldn & SE map on the reverse though, like normal. |
