Default Parenthetically about maps

If you mean it's not on the map, it's not the only omission. The
Waterloo to Shepperton direct service via Twickenham is missing
too, for example.


The map represents the weekday daytime service patterns. Services that
only exist in the evening or weekends or peaks or once every third
fortnight aren't marked.


(although I don't think it's 100% accurate at this goal either)


And peak hour travellers won't use Oyster? How bizarre.


I suppose it's at least consistent with the Tube map, which doesn't
show the Watford north curve (which only has a couple of services a
day).


It's a better attempt than the old timetable map that showed Charing
Cross-coloured services going to Victoria, making the whole thing a
bit of a nonsense.

They've still got a problem with London Bridge to Victoria Services of
course. And every new map will have new errors and inconsistencies.
