Also, does anyone know why Camden Town/Camden Road isn't being
highlighted as an interchange? It can't be any less convenient than
Fenchurch Street-Tower Hill.

It's roughly 50% longer - over 300m compared with about 200m from
Fenchurch Street to Tower Hill.

The only reason I can think of for not marking it as such is that TfL
are worrying about overcrowding at Camden Town.

I think that would also be a reason. Also, there's no entry to Camden
Town on Sunday afternoons which complicates its signage as an
interchange.

But it surely must still compare favourably with a lot of London's
more difficult interchanges. And if you wanted to get from, say,
Hackney Wick to East Finchley it would be by far the easiest route.

This may be more of an issue. It could be dealt with using the same
kind of asterisk that denotes Saturday closing or something.

I think there are quite a lot of journies that would be easier if the
map had a symbol that could denote an on-street or lengthy
interchange: something to suggest that at, say, Forest Gate/Wanstead
Park or Seven Sisters/South Tottenham, interchange was possible but
not for the faint hearted.

Looking at this map, I can't help thinking that now is a good time to
rename Wandsworth Road station, especially since it will be on the tube
map but Wandsworth Town won't.

If I was a Victorian railway entrepreneur I might have called the
station North Clapham, but since a certain subterranean railway line has
used a similar name for their nearby station I'd suggest that using that
name would be a pretty bad idea!

No, it's okay, that station's 'Clapham North', implying it's the northern
station in Clapham; 'North Clapham' would be the main station in North
Clapham. It's like Leyonstone and Leyton Midland Road. No possibility for
confusion at all.

Or if you still don't like it, Clapham Norther? Clapham Arctic?

Larkhall is actually used as a name for the area.

It would be if there was a station with that name. Consider what
happened at Thornton Heath. Thornton Heath *used* to be the name for
the area around the pond. Then the station opened a small distance
away, buildings sprung up around it, and the name moved. These days,
Thornton Heath means the area around the station, and if you want the
original place you have to tell the cabby Thornton Heath Pond.

That would be the Clapham just outside Lancaster.

The other Clapham Junction indeed!

The December edition of the London Overground timetable has an even
newer diagram. It shows the ELL extensions and the replacement bus
services. Walking interchanges are shown with the distance as the
linking device.

Watford Junction is now the only "special fares apply" station. There
is also a note that PAYG is not valid between New Cross Gate & Crystal
Palace / West Croydon.

Interesting. Where did you see this? Which interchanges are shown?

It's in the December London Overground timetable book. The
interchanges shown are Canary Wharf Jubilee to Heron Quays and Canary
Wharf DLR, and West Hampstead Jubilee to West Hampstead London
Overground.

Ta.

I'm still surprised they're not bothering with Camden Town/Road, which
would make the north london line look much better plugged in. Can only
conclude they're worried about overcrowding.
