Tube map May 2010 version

I note that Hammersmith has also been changed so that the District and Hammersmith & City stations are joined as one station. *I am sure that at one time they were not. *Does this show some change in policy on the part of LRT . *Is it to indicate that Oyster recognises that travel via those stations is an interchange? I think it's nothing more than changed thinking about how to best represent such interchanges - there seems to be various schools of thought on this, and which one has the upper hand shifts over time. (Perhaps market research suggested that many passengers genuinely didn't realise how close the Hammersmith H&C/Circle station was - combined with the increased frequency as a result of the Circle line T- cup changes, this new look on the map might help to persuade more passengers to use it... I'm speculating of course...) Oyster has recognised the Hammersmiths as a valid Out-of-Station Interchange (OSI) since the beginning, I think - so nothing has changed in that regard lately. (Oh, and LRT are long gone!) The number of circles at the interchanges appear to have no meaning *For example Baker Street, which is all one station, *has two now, wheras West Hamsptead, which is a Jubilee Line station and an entirely separate North London line station (originally West End Lane) only shows one. I think it's just the demands of trying to show the lines clearly - don't try and read too much into it. |
