After GBR is fully formed the rail and tube map will probably follow this design again.

Other Renaming Bethnal Green (Overground)

93 Upvotes

Given that the two Bethnal Green stations are not connected, to avoid confusion I propose that the overground station be re-named ‘Weavers Fields’ which is next to the station. The name also links to the fact it is in the Weaver line.

Video I took a trip to Battersea Park

I went to the least-served station on the London Overground network to catch the ‘ghost train’ of the London Overground.

The station is Battersea Park, which is on the Windrush Line, and only receives three London Overground trains a day. One in early morning, at 6:33, and then two more at around 23:00. The services are so infrequent that Battersea Park doesn’t appear on any of the tube maps you’ll see around London.

Not sure if this has been discussed here or not but I’ve always seen those logo and wondered if it had any meaning? I see it on the platform floor where the doors open, East bound.

I did some digging in the architect and steel manufacturer and neither use that logo.

Any idea?

I took a trip to the least used London Overground station on the TFL network, Emerson Park. It's in the borough of Havering, which is in Zone 6 of London, and is the only intermediate station on the Liberty Line between Romford and Upminster. It's a single platform station, and received just over 300,000 passengers in 2024/25.

This newer version of the game features more intuitive controls, a helpful tutorial, and support for mobile and tablet devices.

Desktop is still the recommended way to play. With enough support, an app on the App Store could come soon for a better mobile experience.

Play it here.

Website You know the route. You just need the platform board...fast.

17 Upvotes

I’m Oliver, the solo developer behind TubeBoard.

I built it for the moment when you already know your route and only need the platform board.

TubeBoard 1.1 includes:

  • live departures arranged like the station board;
  • second-by-second countdowns and reported train locations;
  • live arrivals, search and one saved station in the free tier; and
  • configurable widgets, Apple Watch and opt-in disruption alerts with Premium.

There’s no account, advertising or tracking. It isn’t trying to replace TfL Go or Citymapper for journey planning; it is deliberately focused on what happens after you have chosen the route.

View TubeBoard 1.1 on the App Store

If you use the Tube regularly, what information should always be one tap away? I’d value candid feedback.
