Ooh, where abouts?

And how similar are they to the Overground Network map at:

I'd like to see this map. It'll be good for people to see that the
Underground isn't the be-all and end-all of frequent services. For
example, doesn't Wimbledon have more trains to Waterloo (16tph) than
District Line services off-peak?


Yeah, that ON map could be quite handy if it was more accurate. The
metropolitan Kent section is all over the place


You're obsessed with this 'metropolitan Kent' notion aren't you?


Metropolitan Kent is a rather good description IMO. I live in Bexley
borough and don't know anyone who wouldn't describe their location as "in
Kent" so I would suggest you are somewhat out of touch with feelings around
here.

You live in metropolitan *Greater London*, not Kent (metropolitan or
otherwise) - now, get over it!!


What are you, the London branding police? You're the one who needs to get
over it by the sound of it. Everybody knows most people in Bexley and
Bromley describe themselves as in Kent. If you were more confident in the
benefits of a Greater London area, you would not appear to be so afraid to
let them carry on doing so.

- Bexleyheath line greyed
out implying less than 4 trains an hour? Orpington greyed out

incorrectly.
Only 8 tph to Dartford? (I think Dartford is 12tph off-peak during the
day). Whoever drew that map didn't examine train services in Bexley and
Bromley very carefully...

Your name rhymes with *Dick*


And you hide behind two anonymous initials. Hmm. What area of "London" do
you live in, by the way? It must be a million miles away from Bexley as you
seem to have no understanding (or indeed tolerance) of the mood around here.
