A prize to anyone who can spot the mistake (or possibly simply an innovative stylistic decision) here? Tsk. Google Maps data quality is pretty poor, but this.... Tsk.
Of course, the railways are a huge mess around Stratford station. You can forgive them for not showing recent changes there as it's been in constant change for years, what with Stratford international, new DLR lines and the new Overground platforms.
However, at Temple Mills" they appear show the line from Stratford to Tottenham Hale being connected to the Central Line of all things. As far as I know the Central line became a tunnel there back in 1947, and while the lines are close, they've not been connected for decades.
Ah. Yeah. That connection must have gone immediately, when the Central line was extended to take over the LNER line to Ongar, I can't imagining it persisting beyond then.
