And just how many people actually use gridlines? I don't know a single person who does.

I used them frequently when I first started as a CSA; having moved up from Dorset specificially to take the job, my knowledge of London outside zone 1 was virtually nil, and my zone 1 information tended to vary in quality depending on whether or not I'd ever previously used that particular station/interchange/part of the line. Having the grid references there on the map made it a lot easier for me to locate stations I was unfamiliar with, and also show the people who were asking about them how to go about using the gridlines to find a station in future.

The New Tube map Dated Dec 2009 should be on display from friday
It has had the Zones and River put back in place and the national rail symbols are red again

Have they got rid of the remaining pointless kinks in lines or have they reintroduced the previous ones?
What about the step-free blobs - have they been replaced with adjacent symbols that don't clutter the map and are able to convey more information (one colour for completely step-free access, another for step-free interchange only, a third for limited street access, etc? I'd like to see this, even if I don't hold out much hope of it happening.
