Exellent. I expecially like the London area. This cannot have been
easy.
Mr Thant
- The curve from Crystal Palace to Norwood Junction is missing.
- There's zero prospect of the future London Overground calling at
Brixton.
- King George V to Woolwich Arsenal DLR is missing.
- "Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich" (and Custom House for Excel)
- "Bromley-by-Bow"
- "Finchley Road and Frognal"
- Mitcham Junction should be shown as a proper interchange with the
tram
- c2c trains do not (and cannot) call at Shadwell
- Chiswick Park is on the wrong branch
- Waterloo East interchanges with Southwark
- Are you ignoring Heathrow Connect?
- The new 3 new DLR stations between Stratford and Canning Town are
missing

Wow...
Really good.
I don't know if it counts, but there is a spur line from London Charing
Cross to London Cannon Street direct.
I think there may be one service in the middle of the night? (confirmation?)

No, hasn't been a regular service for years[1]. Many years ago the only
timetabled train to use it was the 0053 Charing Cross to Dartford via Cannon
Street (though if you go back to SE&CR days a high proportion of Charing
Cross trains went via Cannon Street). Even further back there was a shuttle
service between Charing Cross and Cannon Street, but this lost its
usefulness when the Metropolitan District railway reached the City. The
shuttle service also lost some of its business when an intermediate station
(Blackfriars Road, later superseded by Waterloo Junction) was opened. Before
then certain 'ladies' used a First Class compartment with the blinds down
for their 'business'.
[1] still gets used occasionally for a Charing Cross - Cannon Street shuttle
service at weekends, if the direct route from Charing Cross to London Bridge
is blocked by engineering work. However, the Thameslink plans show the
Cannon Street connection at Metropolian Junction being severed.

Wow, congratulations a lot of work! ...but Mitchum as in Mitchum Eastfields
and Mitchum Junction (west of Croydon) should be spelt Mitcham.

Indeed. It looks utterly hideous, though - all weird mashing discordant
angles. Bleugh.
I prefer the elegant clarity of the New Adlestrop Rail Atlas:
http://www.systemed.net/atlas/
Although it can't compete for detail around London.

But forget about from little nitpicks like this. That is a great
map. It must've taken you ages. Brilliant work.
zzzz
It's missing Wandsworth Common though :)

Also:
- White City should be Central Line only, not also on Hammersmith &
City/Circle
- Ladbroke Road, not Ladbrook Road
- The Thames should go between St Margarets and Richmond, not between
Twickenham and St Margarets
- Bethnal Green, not Bethnel Green (twice)

Thanks! :) Coincidentally I've been doing a bunch of work on the New
Adlestrop this evening.
I'm hoping to have a release with coverage extending as far as an east-
west line starting at Leyland, and ending at the Humber, pretty soon
now. I might then start a separate sheet north of there, as the
Illustrator file is getting _really_ slow to edit...

Guess that's not going to have anything west of Marston Moor on the
Harrogate line but will continue to keep an eye on it, as I have been
doing for a couple of years. It's extremely useful for the areas
covered so far though.
Thanks!

Once I'm clear of the Pennines it'll be plain sailing up to the
Edinburgh-Glasgow belt. It's the really dense areas that take the time
- both in terms of research and cartography. Dewsbury has not been a
bunch of fun and I'm not looking forward to Leeds in the next-but-one
release...

Agreed, and the idea of releasing a draft copy for comment - and
getting it very thoroughly proof checked for free in the process -
shows an awful lot of imagination.

And there is one train a day direct from Woking to Staines round the
north to west curve at Byfleet/Weybridge

Unless he's planning to sell it, why shouldn't he do that?

We are the Strasbourg. Referendum is futile.

This service now runs all day on Sundays.

It's implied by asking "why shouldn't he do that?". And even if he *is*
planning to sell it, what's wrong with getting it proof-checked for
free? Are you suggesting he would then be crossing some sort of ethical
boundary? Good luck to him, I say.
Mr Thant
As is Queenstown Road Battersea. And the "Wandsworth Road" west of
Clapham Junction should be "Wandsworth Town".
Drayton Park station is also missing.

One train every hour in each direction on Sundays. Passangers from
Weybridge to Staines on Sundays have to take the Woking train to
Byfleet & New Haw and change there.

Thanks Richard, look forward to the future releases as and when you
are able to work on them. I suspect Leeds, Bradford, Dewsbury,
Huddersfield, Halifax and all round those areas are a bit difficult to
sort out quickly. Good luck with it.

Wood lane is south of White City not north
Chiltern Paddington Parly seems to stop somewhere near East Acton
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ladbroke Grove NOT Road
I like the bridge interchange symbol at West and South Ruislip that
bypasses Wrexham and Shropshire line
However this is overall superb
