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.

The kink in the Thameslink Line between City TL and the junction north
of St Pancras seems inexplicable.


How else would you get round all the other blobs at KGX/StP? Especially
as the line in fact runs to the west.


Move the blobs?


I think the answer is to be found on the London Connections map, where
Thameslink traverses the separated-out St Pancras Station.

If you then simplify that map by cutting out the GN routes[1],
Thameslink will still be going "around the west".

[[1] And 2tph Thameslink into Kings Cross, which is a symptom of not
yet(?) having reached the maximum frequency in the core.
