London Connections Map
 

The ATOC London Connections map, alongside the London & South East map
and others are available online in PDF format from the National Rail
website at...

http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/maps.htm

...though it would appear that the new London Connections map has not
yet been made available online, the one on the site being dated January
2005.

I have just looked at the london connections map on the page and it
does contain heathrow connect.

Indeed. The page has now been updated with the new map.

There's a new London Connections map out with Heathrow Connect
depicted as a seperate service between Ealing Broadway & Heathrow
Terminals 1,2 & 3.

The BAA stations are depicted outside the Zone 6 shading.

It also has updated the opening dates for Shepherds Bush & Imperial
Wharf to 2006.

(These two stations were listed as calling points for the Silverlink
service on the platform indicator at Clapham Junction yesterday) :)

What's the limited service operated by Southern around the Thameslink
Wimbledon loop? That seems to be new.

Looking at the Thameslink timetable for March-May 2004, there are
seven such services shown in the morning peak M-F, and five in the
evening peak, all originating at London Bridge.

Other changes I've noticed:

- New limited SET service between Elephant & Castle and Herne Hill
- No more Thameslink blockade
- Kilburn High Road is (at last) shown as being temporarily closed
- Sudbury Hill Harrow is now shown as an interchange station with
Sudbury Hill, and is no longer shown as a limited service station
- New limited Southern service via Bookham

Does that go to Guildford? There were a few peak hour trains in the old
days - I think a hangover sop from the withdrawal of Thameslink.

And the DLR extension to London City Airport is indicated using a
diagrammatical device I haven't seen used before - a branch off from
the existing line after Custom House with a pointing arrow to the east,
accompanied by an explanatory box stating the extension opens in
December 2005. I wonder why the map makers didn't use the usual
technique of adding the new route in an 'under construction' outline.

Plus has Sudbury Hill Harrow looks like it loses it's 'limited service'
station symbol simply because it's incompatible with the 'interchange
station' symbol. A brief timetable check suggests it doesn't benefit
from anything more than a train an hour off-peak. I'm all for pointing
out the proximity of stations to one another on a map, but in this
instance it looks like the passenger both wins and loses in the battle
for gleaning useful travel information from this map.

Which is a lot more than the very limited peak only service it had for many
years until recently.

About time too - that service is much less 'limited' than some shown on
that map (Streatham Hill-Tulse Hill and New Beckenham-Beckenham
Junction spring to mind), and is heavily used, but I don't believe it's
ever been shown before.

Probably because (Midland Mainline) services out of St Pancras dont
stop anywhere inside the London Connections map area, the same as GNER
services from Kings X are not shown[1]. Though, FGW services aren't
shown[1], and I seem to remember they had a select few services
stopping at Slough.

[1] All these services Are shown on the Ldn & SE map on the reverse
though, like normal.
