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!

    • That explanation sounds highly unlikely!  Surely the "days of the week" plates must be a standard size. I know Royal Mail often appears incompetent, but it  couldn't be that stupid, surely. Was it 1 April?!  
    • Looking for a short length of electric (twin & earth)  lighting cable. Most likely there could be some in a skip near you??
    • Southwark's recycling guidance says to put shredded paper in the blue bin in a paper envelope or "small box". I've got far too much of it for that  (confidential stuff going back decades) - thanks to the EDF member who kindly gave me a shredder! It would be a "massive box". I have barely started  the shredding, and I've already got an extremely large bagful.   I've read online that you can put it into  large clear plastic bags in the bin for paper,  provided you  clearly label it "shredded paper" and it is obvious what it is. Does anybody know if Southwark would accept it like that? Alternatively, can anyone make use of it for animal bedding or packaging material or adding to  compost?
    • I'm happy to report that some foxgloves are now looking great in my garden. The bees are loving them. Also managed to grow some corn poppies from seed. I've left some decaying logs in the corner so maybe there are some stag beetles there.
