Willesden Junction looks a bit messy, the WLL needn't cross over
the NLL and then kind merge into it.


Agreed, it's silly. They should place the junction some distance
south-west of Willesden Junction, like the DLR junction west of
Shadwell.

The label for 'Acton Central' is in the wrong place too


I wonder if the station names have been placed in the correct zone
as well as the station symbol. That could account for why 'Acton
Central' is "wrong".


I'm sure that's the reason, as the same convention is followed on the
current pocket map. The insertion of Wood Lane has caused the problem
here.

Heathrow Terminal 5m Langdon Park, Wood Lane and Shepherds Bush (LO)
appear as under construction.

Hatch End to Watford Junction are depicted as outside the zones (not
even in A-D). "Special Fares Apply"


Still has that offensive advertising for a mobile phone company on it.

Where does it have the offensive advertising?

I believe James is grumpy that TfL have mentioned the only reason why
anyone might choose to go to North Greenwich as part of the station's
name on the map.

I am suprised no one has noticed the fact that Hampstead Heath is
still in Zone 3. I was under the impression that this would have been
corrected at the launch of London Overground. looks like we have been
mistaken....

I heard from the very mouth of Ken last week that two unnamed stations
are to be moved.

The original link is now back to the old non-Overground map. Looks
like releasing it early was a mistake.

What is the second one? Willesden Junction? Stratford?

It's not part of the station's name... so why is it on the map?

Do you similarly object to Maritime Greenwich being advertised at
Cutty Sark?

Since that is part of the station's name, no.

In any case, it's not directly comparable, as "Maritime Greenwich" is
not a company.
