At least two blatantly obvious errors in it, even though they cited my
web site.

Yes, it's quite a lightweight article, written by a generalist reporter,
but is quite a nice summary of the line's surprisingly complex history.

It's also a reminder that TfL is a bit naughty to omit both this line and
Thameslink from the Tube map. It's not helpful to passengers, who don't
care if a line is run by LU, LO or GTR.

It's on the rail and tube services map which is the useful one these
days.

Showing it on tube maps would tend to lead people to expect a more
frequent service than it offers. For an inner zone line, anyway.

It's better than many LO services, which are shown. So that logic doesn't
work.

How widely is that map displayed?

Dunno but it's easy enough to download from the TfL web site.

The London Connections map has been displayed at relevant[1] stations
for ages (more than a decade at least).

But they don't appear to use that name any more.

[1] Going quite a long way outside London. It could even be 'across most
of the old Network Southeast'.

It's been around at least since the 80s I'm sure.

But how likely are casual users to do that? Is the line shown on normal
platform maps in tube stations?
