Full artistic marks to “Tube Mapper” for their photographs!
Thameslink/Tube Map – I’m surprised that TfL are proposing ( *note* ) to show all of the ‘slink network in London, rather than, IIRC, in the previous iteration, which showed W Hampstead to-&-from Elephant & Castle. (only)
As Diamond Geezer has pointed out, later, it makes for a very complicated map.
( *note* – Yes, “proposing” – current inspection of the on-line map shows no Thameslink )
I note on the Farringdon tour that wayfinding from the Elizabeth Line platforms directs passengers to “London Underground” or “+ Farringdon” rather than to specific LU lines with colour bands as at LU stations.
Whilst I totally see the logic for this decision (Elizabeth Line is not deemed LU) I think that distinction will be lost on most travellers who’ll be confused having to follow signs to “London Underground” from what will be, as far as they’re concerned, just another line.
