Editing Tube map (section)

=== Recent years ===
Some alterations have been made to the map over the years. More recent designs have incorporated changes to the network, such as the [[Docklands Light Railway]] and the [[Jubilee Line Extension|extension]] to the [[Jubilee line]]. The map has also been expanded to include routes brought under [[Transport for London]] control such as [[TfL Rail]] and to note the Tube stops that connect with [[National Rail]] services, links to airports and [[London River Services|River Services]]. In some cases, stations within short walking distance are now shown, often with the distance between them, such as {{rws|Fenchurch Street}}'s distance from {{lus|Tower Hill}} (an evolution of the pedestrian route between [[Bank and Monument stations]], which was once prominently marked on the map). Further, step-free access notations are also incorporated in the current map. In addition, the [[London Underground ticketing#Fare zones|fare zones]] have been added to help passengers judge the cost of a journey. 
One of the major changes to be made to the revision of the Tube map put out in September 2009 was the removal of the [[River Thames]]. The river had been omitted from official maps on several previous occasions (for example, according to David Leboff and Tim Demuth's book, in 1907, 1908 and 1919), and from 1921 it was absent for several years on pocket maps designed by [[MacDonald Gill]]. The Thames-free 2009 version was the first time that the river did not appear on the Tube map since the Stingemore pocket map of 1926. The latest removal resulted in widespread international media attention,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.theworld.org/2009/09/18/thames-missing/ |title=Thames missing &#124; PRI's The World |work=The World |date=18 September 2009 |access-date=9 January 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100910044710/http://www.theworld.org/2009/09/18/thames-missing/ |archive-date=10 September 2010}}</ref> and general disapproval from most Londoners as well as from the then [[Mayor of London]], [[Boris Johnson]].<ref>{{cite news |author=Patrick Barkham |url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2009/sep/17/london-new-tube-map-thames |title=New London Tube Map 17 September 2009 |newspaper=The Guardian |date=17 September 2009 |access-date=9 January 2013 |archive-date=13 May 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140513061645/http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2009/sep/17/london-new-tube-map-thames |url-status=live }}</ref> Based on the reaction, the following edition of the diagram in December 2009 reinstated both the river and fare zones.

In more recent years, TfL has expanded its rail services, notably with the expansion of the [[London Overground]] network, which has taken over a number of National Rail lines and brought them into the TfL network, each of them being converted lines being added to the Tube map. Further additions have been made such as the London Cable Car and the boundaries of fare zones. Some commentators have suggested that Beck's design should be replaced with a new design that can incorporate the new lines more comfortably.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Elledge |first1=Jonn |title=London's iconic tube map is 84 years old.
