A new night tube map to be searched out, well that's my day sorted.

[/I]Hounslow West step-free for manual wheelchairs only[/I]
I'm sure there must be a very simple explanation, but I can't think of it, please explain!

Oh wise Geezer, when do trains from Bank stop at West India Quay? I thought it was never.

Hounslow West has a stairlift, suitable for manual wheelchairs only. It's on the western staircase up from the platform and you need to request a member of staff to come operate it for you. I've never seen it in use and sometimes I wonder if it is still actually in operation ...

When the new design at West India Quay was launched, a few (very early / very late) trains from Bank to Lewisham were routed along the "old" track and could stop. No longer how it works. Now every Bank Lewisham service uses the avoiding route and none stop at WIQ.

There's a minor typo in the middle of the 2nd para. about the Night Tube ('led' should be 'let').
dg writes: Fixed, thanks.
I've just looked at the "old" version (Oct. 2016) of the Night Tube map and it had thin white borders on the 3 lines that were open then; so why did they change it for the new version?!

More pedantry. Because of the significant Christmas engineering closure on the Great Eastern line, the last day you can get a train from Brentwood to Shenfield is actually this week, 23 Dec.
The 3 Jan date is when a revised timetable kicks in, with commuter services terminating at Brentwood rather than Shenfield.

re West India Quay:
If you search 'TfL stations' and go to the West India Quay DLR station webpage, like you're supposed to, the official advice is...
WEST INDIA QUAY: Not served by DLR trains from Bank towards Lewisham at certain times.
So the official advice is wrong.
I've changed mine, thanks.

How many potential users of the Night Tube would ever use a paper map ?

I have scoured the keys of both maps and cannot find the reason some stations are in boxes eg Clapham South,South Wimbledon. Can anyone enlighten me?

Stations shown in boxes are in two fare zones.

@Island Dweller
Also the last day you can get a direct train from Paddington to Greenford
The first link seems to go to the June Tube map, rather than the new one.

Oh dear, what a mess the tube map is now. Wouldn't it be better to have 1 map for zones 1&2 and another for the outer zones?

Wonder when the Tube Map will get round to scrapping its incorrect warning that a Service Charge may apply to its 0343 number? It's just a relic from when they used a rip-off 0843 number.

@Alexander
Presumably (some) tourists might find a paper map useful?

What is the point of showing the zones? Worse than useless, it makes the whole thing harder to read.

Maybe they should just make the paper map a little bit bigger.

Another (off-topic, a bit) 'saving' has been sneaked in. No more 'Overground' timetables.

"The 'tram' bit of the map is now labelled 'Special fares apply' rather than 'London tram fare zone'."
Isn't it the other way round? It now says "London Trams fare zone" rather than just "special (i.e. expensive) fares apply"?
dg writes: Yes, sorry. Now swapped, thanks.

"Created directly from the surface of a domestic scanner, Scott has ..."
No, TfL, Samara Scott was not created from a domestic scanner. She almost certainly began the same way as every other human being begins.

Vauxhall is now step free as well. (It was previously shown as step free in the Jan 2016 map but then removed in the June map as the project was overrunning so late!)
Surprised that TCR and Victoria (Vic line) are not shown as step free as those projects are meant to be almost complete.

As a Geordie, I'd only visited London once by 1986 (at the age of 20) but Father Christmas has given me a Letts diary for most Christmases that I can remember up to then, each of which had a London Underground map in the front or back cover. So I'd memorised that Piccadilly line trains had a special stopping pattern at Turnham Green.
And this knowledge won my team a quiz trophy that year when I was at university in Sheffield.
Trivia can be valuable!

And I still cannot find Merton Park in the "Index to stations"...

@ Andrew-R:
It's included in the list on the map I got yesterday! Look between Marylebone and Mile End.

There are still two trains a day between Greenford and Paddington. This is to get the unit on and off the branch.

@Malc: TCR won't be step free until Crossrail fully opens - sams goes for Bond Street. I don't think Victoria will be ready either until the whole station modernisation project has been completed.
