Fascinating stuff, and quite an impressive piece of design, too.
Thanks, Dave, for pointing this out to us!

* No interchange shown between Isle of Dogs (Crossrail) and West India
Quay (DLR) despite the former being below the latter.


But then, the Isle of Dogs Crossrail station is diagramatically
position away from the Isle of Dogs. :-) The geography appears to be
quite twisted here.

* No White City station on the Hammersmith & City. I thought this was
planned to be reinstated to serve the shopping complex.


There seemed to be few changes to the UndergrounD lines in general :
Metropolitan proposals at Croxley/Watford, Heathrow T5 on the
Piccadilly, and East London extensions, but that's it. Any mooted
plans to extend Victoria or Bakerloo lines south must be pretty
dormant.

* No apostrophes in Earls Court, Regents Park, Kings Cross, etc! Is
this one of the plans for 2016? :-)


Quite possibly! Apostrophe abuse is so common now that getting rid of
them altogether could be the way forward. :-) (Personally it feels
more wrong to see an apostrophe where there shouldn't be one than to
see one omitted...)
