Looks like the Alexandra palace area is getting another feather in
its bow ...

Interesting. At least one of the stations is zone 2 on the outer ring which was probably a typo. It is needed.

It is located in beautiful area.

Interesting - the purpose of this proposed line appears to be to connect west hampstead and wimbledon to the worst possible parts of London. Should make for an interesting day out as long as they don't open the doors at any of those stations.

I think the whoever drafted the map forgot West Hampstead is zone 2. It will probably go through Cricklewood or there abouts.

I don't know how many train lines they want in West Hampstead. It's got the tube, the overground and the first capital connect train line.

Another reason why I think it was an error on the draft. It has an orbital already.

This map is more detailed.

Ah Harringay green lanes, that's connected to Ally Pally, makes sense.

That map is a reminder of just how many horrible parts london has. I'm not really that thrilled about a railway that makes it easier for me to get to Peckham, because the trains will be running in both directions!

I've noticed a lot of the lines already exist. It seems that it is a basically introducing a service that stops at them all rather than a few trains that happen to stop at a few stations on the way into zone 1. It is much needed and introducing more service and connections is good. Increasing density and frequency of outer parts of inner London and outer London has been needed.
