Welcome to London Transport Expanded Concept Map 1 which is the first map of the London Transport Expanded Concept Map series. This is just a fantasy map and is not based on real events. This map has over 1000 stations but it is not as big as London Transport Expanded Concept Map 2 or as dense as the other maps. Credits to chris for the original map however the original map has been deleted. Do not even consider branching this map because it is too large and might lag your device but you can star this map if you like. Please note that this map alongside my other London Transport Expanded Concept Maps will be an entrance for the TfL Young Superfans Competition. But anyway, let’s get on with what’s new or changed with the map.
For London Underground Lines, all existing tube lines extend south of the River Thames to most suburbs in South London (except the Central Line) alongside extending north of the M25 motorway. New tube lines include the Charles, Chelney, Circular, Eustonwharf, Kingsway, Northern Heights, Marblesea, Orbital, Primrose, Southern, Tuppeny, Wankerton lines. I won’t talk about all new tube lines though. The Wankerton Line is a rename from Waterloo & City Line and is extended to Abridge via Homerton and Clayhall and south to Sutton and the Northern Heights & Southern Lines are separated permanently from the Northern Line meaning the southern section of the Northern Heights Line extends east via Lewisham, Burgess Park and Hither Green to Dartford. Also, the Northern Line extension is integrated into the Kingsway line and heads a different route towards Waltham Abbey, Expanded Heathrow Airport and Windsor Central. One new circle line is built, the Circular Line. The Circular Line is an outer circle with whole new tunnels circling Zone 3/4 on the tube map where some areas follow the current/proposed Superloop bus network by the way. The Charles Line is notable because it reuses the Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace railway line and the Northern City Line whilst still extending north and south or existing rails or new tunnels.
For Light Railway Lines, a new Thames Wharf station opens between Canning Town and West Silvertown but on the same DLR branch, the line would extend south to Swanley via Welling and Albany Park. Tower Gateway station would close being replaced by new platforms at Tower Hill alongside existing the Bank branch to Marble Arch via Charing Cross. New extensions to Thamesmead and Erith splitting from Gallions Reach opens and an extension to Barking from Beckton also opening. A new line from Bow Church to Hackney Central is revived but is built underground due to housing being built on top. Other extensions include to Leyton Midland Road and Walthamstow Central from Stratford International and to Forest Hill from Lewisham and a new branch and station between All Saints and Crossharbour called Wood Wharf for the CLR. The Brent Light Railway or BLR is a light rail system connecting Ealing, Northolt, Harrow, Arnos Grove and West Hampstead with Brent Cross along the West London Orbital route and the Midland Main Line which also includes extensions to Whetstone and Kings Cross. Other Light Rails include the Watford Light Railway and East London Light Railway however the Kenex Light Railway is far better than the Kenex Tram project as it also has connections to the Thames Estuary Airport and Dartford.
For Tramlink Lines, a new extension from to Richmond from Wimbledon is built mostly on the street however, this idea came from the internet. Other extensions include a new branch from Harrington Road to Crystal Palace is built mostly on the street and a new tram line following an old rail line to the old Selsdon station alongside a new curve at Sandilands and an extension to Bromley South. Other extensions in South London are to be added soon.
For Overground and Crossrail lines, Crossrail 4 opens connecting Euston and Clapham Junction on a new tunnel before continuing south to Redhill via Dorking, Woking and Guildford and north to Milton Keynes and Aylesbury. Crossrail 3 connects West Hampstead to West Hampstead on a new tunnel before continuing on the Tilbury lines east towards Lakeside, Rainham, Basildon, Shoeburyness and Southend Central (as Liberty Line) and west to the cancelled Cublington Airport, Verney Junction and Bicester Village via High Wycombe. Crossrail 5 includes lines to Tunbridge Wells and East Grinstead in the south & Welwyn Garden City and Stevenage in the north. There are other Crossrail lines as well but they are mainly based on Thameslink. Other new lines of the Overground include the extension from Barking Riverside on the Sufragette line to Abbey Wood, West London Orbital (called the Brent Line), the Mildmay line extension to North Woolwich, the Lioness line to St Albans Abbeyand more The Orbital Line uses existing tracks from the London Overground and becomes the 5th sub-surface tube line due to the existing track but new tunnels are built from Peckham Rye to Stratford via Canary Wharf and serves the future Old Oak Common station directly. Two new lines known as the Eagle and Delta lines connect London Bridge and Victoria with the suburbs of Orpington, Bexleyheath, Tatteham Corner and Woldingham.
A new suspension railway called East London Suspension Railway operates from Lewisham to Aldersbrook via Greenwich Peninsula however due to this, I made a new IFS Cloud Cable Car line to Isle of Dogs from Greenwich Peninsula and a cycle bus route across the Silvertown Tunnel.
Please note that some ideas may have been used online although some ideas are my own and I might have not told about everything. (I live in London so this map is better connected in most parts of the city). Some stations may be in countryside but those areas would get new development to serve the new tube lines and stations. The zones would change to 4 zones from 15. Zone 1 means central, Zone 2 means inner suburb, Zone 3 means outer suburb and Zone 4 means Outside M25.
