Before Overground – Integration Into Transport for London

One thing that Transport for London (TfL) manages better than any other transport authority I’ve used anywhere in the world, is the interface between the various modes of transport.

Turn up at most Underground or Overground stations or any bus stop and you’ll generally find two things; a bus spider map, showing where the buses in the area go and a good easy-to-read walking map for those who need, have or want to walk.

Today, I arrived at Rectory Road station for the first time and I couldn’t find the information I needed to get a bus to Hackney. Not really a problem, as I got back on the next train to Hackney Downs.

At present some of the stations have information levels more appropriate to a rural halt in the wilds of Norfolk.

So will we see better information on the Lea Valley Lines, when TfL is responsible for the stations?
