Picked up a copy of the new "London's Rail & Tube services" map- the
one with London & the South East rail services on the reverse -
dunno why they ditched the nifty 'London Connections' name but
whatever, I suppose the newer name is more descriptive and perhaps
less cryptic.
Where did you pick it up from?
Anyway, it's valid from 31 May 2015,
Online it's still the December 2014 edition.
Presumably they only put the new one online once it's valid?
Well, they changed the Victoria Line car line diagrams to show
interchange with London Overground at 3 stations late last month.
Physical maps take a while to print, distribute and place; online maps can
be replaced just in time.
No new maps were printed. These are overlay stickers which could easily have
been applied in depot nearer the time.
Er, weren't the overlay stickers printed? The line has 376 cars with at
least six line diagrams per car. The stickers need to be carefully aligned
on the map before being pressed into place, which must mean they take 30
secs or so each. I'd imagine that sort of work is sub-contracted and is
probably done by a small team over many days, perhaps when the trains are
out of service between the peaks, rather than more expensively overnight.
