On reflection a slightly hyperactive post! I'll reserve judgement
until I get see it properly, but here''s a preview via Flickr:

Quite radical. Not sure I approve. Maybe I'm a conservative fuddy
duddy.

I see that the Clapham North/ Clapham High Street interchange, which
campaigners fought a long battle to get on the map, is one of the
things that's been swept away. And the Brixton LU/NR interchange is
presented as seamless, when it ain't! And Edgware Road is also now one
big happy station, despite the fact it ain't either. Long way from
Pimlico to Victoria too, for no apparent reason.

Incidentally the pocket map and poster are possibly a bit different,
not sure how though. Here's a fuzzy take on the poster sized version:http://www.flickr.com/photos/darrenl...94475/sizes/o/

The bottom line is that simple is good, but not if it's simply wrong.
Zones and interchanges are things that people need to know about in
order to do a journey.

Will there be a corresponding reduction in announcements about keeping
your belongings with you? Thought not. Will they stop putting
advertising projectors and CCTV cameras directly in front of the
platform PIS? Thought not.

As well as the Clapham situation you mention, I note that they've gone
back to pretending that the sole Jubilee/DLR interchange is Canary
Wharf, because it has the same name, when recently they'd acknowledged
that Heron Quays is nearer to Jubilee. No doubt there are many
similar regressive examples.

It does all seem like a terrible mistake.
