Hello, I have just released a new version of my map at the occasion of new services (Overground and Crossrail), even if that doesn't modify the track layout it changes the colors :-). It also include the current status of works between New Cross and London Bridge, some disused informations (like around Feltham, Hammersmith & Chiswick Branch details, ...) and other minor changes (works at Wimbledon, ..) . You can have a look there : cartometro.com/metro-tram-londonI have also improved the website for mobile/tablet access last weeks : better layout and a 'locate' button that move you to the correct map at your current position in one click (or 'one touch' ;-) ! As always, please report me any mistake if you find one  Franklin |

One error I've spotted is that you don't show the fast lines between Bethnal Green North Junction and Hackney Downs North Junction as being used by London Overground, but the Chingford line trains are routed that way normally.

Also a couple of feature requests:
1. The Harold Wood to Shenfield layout (perhaps as an inset like the Metropolitan line to Brill if you don't want to expand the base map)
2. Tool tips for the icons at top left

The "battery locomotive siding" at King's Cross was removed during a possession back in early February. Replace with plain line, although it is due to gain a scissors crossover at some point in the future, replacing the west-east crossover at the other end.

Thanks for all your comments, I will fix the Bethnal Green / Hackney Downs area and the 'battery locomotive' siding in the next version. I can't explain how 'Addlestone' has appeared on the map  ! I'll see for the Harold Wood to Shenfield layout, i've not decide what to do (enlarging the map, add an insert, or do nothing as this part is outside GreaterLondon, even if the rail network is TfL rail) I've put tooltips for the icons at top left of the online map ;-) |

Also the Stratford low-level to North Woolwich section of DLR/future Crossrail could do with some dates to note it's existence as an NR/BR/LNER/GER operation. Likewise the disused site of Canning Town station

It states that: "Passenger traffic ceased on 7th January 1963, and freight traffic ceased on 5th October 1964." There are photos to show that there are now houses built on various sections of the line. |

Hello, I've put a new edition online today, it include many modification to take in account the works for CrossRail : carto.metro.free.fr/cartes/metro-tram-londonIn addition, a new map is available to show all the lines names : carto.metro.free.fr/cartes/lines-london/. I hope you will think it useful and find some mistakes (as it is new, it must contain some :-) On the online maps, if you click/touch the map, the pop-up will offer you a quick link to switch between that 'Line names map' and the original 'Detailled map'.

Very interesting - and thankyou for your work on this - a labour of love I'm sure. The new map looks very useful, although I couldn't get the system to toggle between one map and t'other. You asked for errors to be highlighted, so can I point out that when I clicked on Ladbroke grove I was a little surprised to see the data for Holland Park come up! |

Many thanks! Brilliant source
On the greyed out (abandoned) bits of the Central Line, Loughton Junction should read Loughton Branch Junction, and Leyton Junction should read Leyton Station Junction.
At Loughton, the (closed 1865)line should extend about a quarter mile north of where you have it. Just south of where you have the turntable marked should be Loughton Excursion Station (1865-closed by 1890) and a note that the network of sidings south of that point lasted till about 1970. The point of junction of the pre and post 1865 lines was Loughton Junction.

Is there a reason the platform numbers are not now being shown? I found that a very useful reference for the quiz (particularly working out what I have photographed!)

Hi cartometroLove your product. Small correction. The closed station at Camberwell-was never called Camberwell Road. Opened as Camberwell 1862, renamed Camberwell New Road 1863. Reverted to Camberwell 1908 & closed 3.4.1916. Next Station up, Walworth Road, started as Camberwell Gate in 1863, but changed to Walworth Road by 1865, so that is absolutely correct-closed on 3.4.1916, too. |

Great work Cartometro.
Will you be adding any more metro systems soon? Particularly interested in Madrid!

It is a bit difficult to draw it, the area has changed a lot and there is no maps of each situations. Small correction.

They are available on the "stations made easy" diagrams on the National Rail site but you have to look at each station individually for that. There may be a better way to acquire them. |

There's a scaled map in Loughton's First railway Station of the Loughton layout pre and post 1865. Would you like me to email it to you?

They are available on the "stations made easy" diagrams on the National Rail site but you have to look at each station individually for that. There may be a better way to acquire them. Indeed, there is still a lot of track numbers missing on the NR network. I have to work on that !  There's a scaled map in Loughton's First railway Station of the Loughton layout pre and post 1865. Would you like me to email it to you? Yes please ! I can't found a map of the first station ! here is my email : carto.metro@gmail.com |

Incredible work with the map; I can tell you even LU sometimes use it internally for research occasionally!
Just wondering whether there is any plans to do the Berlin metro? I was there last week and the variety and expanse of their network is begging to be mapped!

I was there last week and the variety and expanse of their network is begging to be mapped! There are already a few Berlin Metro track maps online. This one is slightly out of date, but not much has changed recently anyway. www.berliner-verkehr.de/ubbilder/ugleis.gifMajor metro systems where there are currently no track maps available online (or at least that I can find) are: Madrid Lisbon Rome Singapore Beijing Shanghai Buenos Aires Santiago de Chile Mexico City Sao Paulo Most other North American, European, Eastern European, and ex-Soviet metro systems are already covered online by various map makers including Carto Metro. FYI the ex-Soviet metros are here www.mrl.ucsb.edu/~yopopov/rrt/trackmaps/. |

Hello I always like to study your map of the London Underground. The work you've done is amazing. I do however have some minor points to make: I hope you find these of use/ value.

I believe the LUL/NR boundary may actually be just after platform 2 in Harrow on the Hill in the southbound direction. Well there is a sign there anyway which says "No LUL beyond this point" or words to that effect The "No LUL" sign is surely not a boundary marker (which would look like the one west of Amersham discussed recently on a thread I can't find now) but is simply an instruction to stop Underground trains being driven off the juice. (cf the various "no ac traction beyond this point" signs at City TL, "no Networkers beyond this point" at various paces on Southern, etc) |

Hello, The new 3.5 edition is online (and the london rail lines map too). I hope everything reported here is correctly added/fixed, including Plumstead to Abbey Road works. Unfortunately I already got and error, crossover at King's Cross Met. are incorrects (the double should be on a west side of the station, and a single on the east side). There will be a 3.6 later for sure ;-) |

crossover at King's Cross Met. are incorrects (the double should be on a west side of the station, and a single on the east side). The single crossover at the east end was removed at the same time as the one on the west end was put into place. So, it's nearly right! Look forward to seeing the updates, and thanks again for your continued efforts. |

Thanks for the update. The only other problem I can see with this version is that you are missing a label for the Crossrail station in Wooliwch (which will be called just "Woolwich"). Thank you again for all your hard work.
