June 2016 tube map

The map has the GOBLIN shown as a dotted line with a great big notice in the key making it clear where and when there is no service. Short of including an audio file that screams the information at the user when they open the tube map I don't know what more TfL can do.

I was chatting with a member of staff at Woodgrange Park on Friday and asked if they were expecting any issues. They said no because all the regular users have got used to weeks and weeks of no weekend service so they expect people will adjust automatically. I suspect it may not be quite as smooth as that come Monday morning with the school kids back and also people trying out alternative routes in a weekday peak. I can see there being issues in a number of places where buses are already under strain in the peaks. I may have been imagining it but I think the 123 bus was much busier today than on previous weekends. Obviously we'll see what happens in the peaks and how many people are left behind (this already happens anyway) at places like Blackhorse Rd which has no RRS.

I think red text along the path of the line saying "closed for upgrade work until February 2017" or some such, in a similar manner to how "under construction" lines are shown (when they are) would be good. Simply removing the line isn't the best imo as the maps stick around a lot longer than the engineering work will - I spotted a December 2014 pocket map in the racks at Leicester Square yesterday for example.

u agree - maybe red with orange - showing line is closed or dimmed orange showing the line is closed with no names on stations as avoid confusion

I don't get why the names of stations would be removed? People still want to get to the places served, they just have to do it by replacement bus not a train. What it needs to show clearly is that the railway is temporarily closed (removing the line or station names would suggest a permanent closure) and it doesn't do a bad job of that.

Lewisham is 2/3 because the national rail station (which has through services) is on the zone 2/3 boundary (this is also the reason why Greenwich is in both zones, and therefore the reason why the intermediate DLR stations between them are in both zones. Cutty Sark is in both zones because it being in a different zone to Greenwich would be ridiculous).

Perhaps a return to multi-coloured zones like this?

Given the note about the Jubilee line this version must be circa September/October 1999.

Also odd that the posters at stations haven't appeared, despite LO GOBLIN closure starting last weekend. Alterations for Caledonian Road and Lambeth North restrictions?

the June 2016 map has started to (finally) appear at stations, both in poster and card form. (the poster version is only in the corrected form)
the error(s) on the original version are plain to see:
- Morden shown in 'Special fares apply' zone
- Greenford is step-free to train (as shown on January 2016 map)
- Barbican shown as closed September until November 2016

Index:


the reprinted version has the following:
- Morden shown correctly in zone 4
- Greenford is step-free to platform
- Barbican closure removed

Index:


common cover to both:


no mention on either map of impending closure of Lambeth North !
