I presume you're referring to the map here


The map is an official TfL publication showing the conversion and extension of the existing East London Line to West Croydon (due start 2010) and Clapham Junction (due 2012) as part of the London Overgrond network. As far as I'm aware, everything apart from the new station at Surrey Canal Road has secured funding in place already.


Laurie Egglestone (pointlessly) has also added the current South London Line in purple in an attempt to argue that it should be marketed under the TfL brand. He also wrongly suggests that Oyster PAYG is currently valid on this route.

This is probably a stupid question but here goes: I thought it wasn't an official map because the east london line isn't technically a tube line so would only be on the extended tram, train etc maps? It's in the same line style as the DLR so I'm confused, is it somewhere in between a tube and a trainline?

Hi Sophie,


The East London Line used to a tube line (tube carriages) which has now been converted to London Overground (standard rail carriages) which is part of Transport for London so I guess that's why it appears on the map.


On reflection, I probably was unfair to say the purple line addition was pointless as I, myself, like to occasionally dabble with a fantasy map alteration!

    • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Support from No-Files – A Truly Exceptional Experience I want to extend a huge thank you to Tony at No-Files Estate Agents for his incredible help and unwavering support over the past 10 months. My flat sale was far from straightforward, and I truly don’t think I’d be in my new home today without him. The process was made extremely difficult by solicitors who were unprofessional, unresponsive, and at times, outright rude. They refused to communicate with each other, which caused significant delays and confusion throughout the chain. Tony became the key point of contact between four people in the chain and the other estate agent, constantly stepping in to manage communication and keep things moving. The situation became so complex that all parties were forced to exchange and complete on the same day. Despite all three buyers and sellers having removal vans booked and packed, one solicitor refused to answer calls and only sent a single email at 3:55pm making it impossible for anyone to move that day. This caused unnecessary stress and cost for everyone involved and we all live for weeks with a flat with all my items packed away. To make matters worse, my mortgage offer—along with the offers for others in the chain—was expiring. Solicitors offered no guidance and simply suggested reapplying, with no clear timeline or confidence in the process. Throughout it all, Tony remained calm, communicative, and supportive. He was the only person I could rely on to explain what was happening, keep everyone in the loop, and offer reassurance during moments when I felt completely overwhelmed. His professionalism, dedication, and genuine care made all the difference. I am so grateful I chose No-Files. Although I’m sad to have moved out of the area and may not be able to use them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend them. If you're looking for an estate agent who is professional, honest, transparent, and truly goes above and beyond—No-Files and Tony are exactly who you need. Thank you again, Tony — I truly couldn’t have done this without you! May 2025  Andrea
