That must be the most geographically confusing part of the map ever! A
tourist might well think that Reading was a mere stroll from Northolt.

Anyway, that's a reminder for me to try out my Freedom pass on the new
route in about 10 days.

Well, they won't be valid before the 15th, so it would be misleading to put
out the new map before then. I wonder how long it'll take them to get it
out after then?

Apology accepted, I don't think it is! The map is getting ever more
'who runs it' than 'what is it', and to have Reading but not
Thameslink or Surbiton (of course) is ridiculous. It should be a map
of London's frequent rail services, extended to reasonable outlying
places like Shenfield, Watford, Dartford and Epsom and that's about
it. There have been maps like that, but I think this should be the
standard. Infrequent lines and stations could be shown differently to
avoid over-complication.

Yes, this map should be called the TfL trains map (obviously not TfL Rail,
as that's already used). It's crazy that it ignores the GN Moorgate line
and Thameslink. But there is a more complete map available:
https://londonmap360.com/carte/pdf/en/london-rail-map.pdf

I'm not sure how often this is updated.

The tube map shows the Dangleway, so it's not just a rail map.

But not the buses, so it's not all TfL services either.
