Stephen: Yes, Fenchuch Street doesn't have an TfL station, it's an NR station that can be walked to from Tower Hill (and Tower Gateway before it's removal). It's like that on the current map.

@Martin: The reason that HS1 and HS2 are on the map is that they are a bit part of the "London Infrastructure Plan 2050: Transport Supporting Paper" on which the map is based.
The convention on the map shows the river but doesn't show the bridges, so I'm not sure quite how you could show that about Blackfriar's. It's an interesting point though.
The Thamleslink lines are shown because they are getting a lot more services when the current upgrade is finsihed (did you spot the TL goes to Finsbury Park?)

@Stephen: I think that Clock House got lost in a CorelDraw! crash... I have put it in again. Thanks for the pointer.

@Philip
"Seems like an arbitrary choice to include HS1 & HS2 and not other overground railway not run by TFL. "
The map is to show the changes broght about by the "London Infrastructure Plan 2050: Transport Supporting Paper" so things are shown because they are in the plan.
"Obviously there's no zone information either. "
Perhaps there will be no zones in 2050? I didn't want to make the map look any more complicated than it needed to be, or get involved in Zone arguments about new stations such as Battersea Power Station Station.
"Great map though - these are really only minor nitpicks :)"
Thanks!

@Corin: Yes, that might be interesting. I'm sure I know how it works, but I'm going to read up on it again just to make sure I'm not making an assumption!

Jamie Rose: it is an internet IPTV channel... Only works on certain newer freeview boxes with an internet connection.

Jamie Rose: yes... It might have to be a Freeview HD box to support the correct version of the IPTV software. And yes, with either WiFi or a fixed Ethernet internet connection.
