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

Test tube map?

No, it seems to be the final one. Here's another example:

Neil has suggested that the GN Moorgate line should also be added, and I
agree, but it would be hard to squeeze it in.

Looks like it would easily fit between Finsbury Park and Moorgate, but
not much space for the Hertford Loop.


I was thinking of the problems of showing and labelling the inner London
stations, while keeping the line reasonably straight.


Leaving out the Moorgate to FP section of GN - even if they don't include
the rest - is just cretinous and a disservice to passengers.


I'm not sure why it's worse than leaving out the Waterloo-Wimbledon
(etc) National Rail routes.
