I don't know if it counts, but there is a spur line from London Charing Cross to London Cannon Street direct. I think there may be one service in the middle of the night? (confirmation?) -- Tim Watts This space intentionally left blank... |

(confirmation?) No, hasn't been a regular service for years[1]. Many years ago the only timetabled train to use it was the 0053 Charing Cross to Dartford via Cannon Street (though if you go back to SE&CR days a high proportion of Charing Cross trains went via Cannon Street). Even further back there was a shuttle service between Charing Cross and Cannon Street, but this lost its usefulness when the Metropolitan District railway reached the City. The shuttle service also lost some of its business when an intermediate station (Blackfriars Road, later superseded by Waterloo Junction) was opened. Before then certain 'ladies' used a First Class compartment with the blinds down for their 'business'. [1] still gets used occasionally for a Charing Cross - Cannon Street shuttle service at weekends, if the direct route from Charing Cross to London Bridge is blocked by engineering work. However, the Thameslink plans show the Cannon Street connection at Metropolian Junction being severed. Peter |

Exellent. I expecially like the London area. This cannot have been easy. Indeed. It looks utterly hideous, though - all weird mashing discordant angles. Bleugh. I prefer the elegant clarity of the New Adlestrop Rail Atlas: http://www.systemed.net/atlas/ Although it can't compete for detail around London. tom -- It is big (I didn't realise how big 17" is) -- Martin |

Also it should be Herne Hill (not Hearne), and Finchley Road & Frognal (not Frognall). But forget about from little nitpicks like this. That is a great map. It must've taken you ages. Brilliant work. |
