The new one shows all railways operated by TfL, plus slightly dubious additions such as the Air Line and Tramlink. There is a bigger map (or there used to be) called London Connections, which shows "ordinary" railways as well - some of those are now of course the Overground anyway. It's certainly there on the website but I don't know if it exists in paper form.<br /><br />I think the issue comes down to the fact that, with Travelcards and Oyster, people tend to think of it all as one seamless system even if it's run by several operators. Surely that's a good thing - and what the LPTB really wanted back in 1933!<br /><br />By the way, the new map may be more cluttered but it actually covers a far smaller geographical area than the old one: no Met. beyond Amersham or Central Line beyond Epping. On the other hand it may go a bit further south.<br /><br />Andrew Kleissnernoreply@blogger.com
