Geoff celebrates the belated return of Thameslink to TfL's Tube Map,
after
a long absence. And it's not just the core section, but as much as
fits in
the extended zones. So the map now features over 500 stations:

The map itself is not on the TfL site yet, but curiously is available at

They've left Hadley Wood off, despite it being in Zone 6.


I've just figured that out. They're showing Thameslink served stations
only, and Hadley Wood is only served by GN services, as are Harringay,
Hornsey and Alexandra Palace, which are also not shown on the map. The
TL trains which call at New Southgate, Oakleigh Park and New Barnet are
a peak-only service, and very much the minority of the trains that call
at those stations even in the peak, so while the map is correct for some
definition of correct, I don't think it has much meaning to the customers.
