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

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.


The London Connections map displays a straighter Thameslink in the same
colour scheme. The map we're discussing seems to be an uneasy hybrid of
the traditional tube maps and London Connections. The latter is far
more useful for making journeys such as Vauxhall to Clapham Junction,
which can seem long and complex if planned on the wrong map.
