Oh wow, didn't notice the Heathrow name change! I wonder how long the rest of the system will still say 1, 2 & 3? (And have they changed the platform?)

Is Vauxhall really stepped free? It has great big humps on the platform, but I'm not aware of any lift from the concourse to platform level.

Robert Johnson,
The work involved is supposed to be complete by now but I haven't read anywhere that it is.
Nevertheless the lift must be due to go into service very soon, if it is not already, so it probably makes sense to include it in the map.

"Admittedly almost everyone has a smartphone these days". Is this really true?
And there is a lot of difference between having such a phone and being able to use it effectively.

How utterly daft to omit the basic W&C information - rotten for visitors who try to plan ahead. Being left to search obscure mobile pages for map details is just plain rude, whatever the map density. What a horrid mess this has become. To transform an iconic piece of London life into a dog's dinner reveals a sad lack of visionary management. TFL needs to bring back the spirit of Ashfield and Pick.

What happened to Terminal 1?!

Am I right in thinking the Tramlink vs Trams saga seems to have dragged on for some years. I'm sure the name on the crossbar of the roundel changed at least once before when they were trying to remove the Croydon and push the London. Interesting to see the next stage.
Online the colour of the DLR is almost the same shade as the Waterloo and City line.
I guess they couldn't use a Coaches roundel what with it looking so similar to the Overground logo. Strange to see the icon there though.

@Scott. Heathrow Terminal 1 doesn't exist any more - it's been knocked down.

There is more and more of this "only online" nonsense from TfL. Requiring people to go online to check something on a paper map is lunacy. When the online info is hard to find, incomplete, wrong, out of date or non existent you're into the realms of farce. Full lists of fares in pdf form are another casualty. You now have to use the Single Fare finder and take umpteen clicks rather than one to open a document. It also means the ability to keep a record of official information has gone.

PS you're holding WHAT USED TO BE one of the iconic designs in transport....
The lack of any kind of co-ordination between the online offering and the real world has long been an issue, for example try looking up the information for the 618/9 school routes, introduced 31st October.
The Central London night bus map still shows the N47, replaced by the N199 back in September - it's like digital, you can't update the online map because.....

When I Google ‘TfL stations’ the top hit is the pdf version of the new tube map – which of course tells me to search ‘TfL stations’ for full details. What a mess.

I have been checking on the Vauxhall lift situation once a week, last time thought just before xmas, and it hadn't opened yet...

More people might find your 'TFL stations' blog post if you could put the words 'TFL stations' into the HTML title. At the moment the title is just "diamond geezer", and on the google search engine results page the link is displayed as "Sunday, January 03, 2016 - diamond geezer"

Don't get me going on Tfl and maps. Despite my contacting them several times about this, in Putney we still have maps at bus stops that have been inaccurate since 2014. One stop even has a poster map showing Putney Bridge as shut. Other stops have a "buses from West Putney" map that advises you to take the 337 to Roehampton even though it doesn't go there...

I was on the Central line earlier looking at the line maps in the carriage. It occurred to me that they've got to squeeze a zone 2/3 tab in for Stratford and give Leyton its own zone 3 tab.

"Admittedly almost everyone has a smartphone these days".
I, my parents and in-laws, and my 14 and 20 year old children do not have a smart phone!
That's already a lot of people unable to access the information!

While it is nice that Greenford gets a blue step-free access icon for presumably unaccompanied access for a wheelchair user, it seems a bit pointless when there appears to be no other station on the entire line for them to get off! Surely you need another dagger to warn such users!

..... And their current strap lines are ''every journey matters' and 'fit for future'. Yeah right. Shocking!

Someone's had a go at de-zoning the latest tube map (and what a difference it makes).
