Interesting ... it has been a bugbear of mine for a while that some of the tables were clearly legacies from service patterns from years back and needed a complete overhaul. Two that sprung to mind were:
• there was no table that showed York—Bridlington trains' full route, and no table that showed Hull—Halifax trains' full route, despite these both being hourly services pre-Covid, but instead the routes were trains over multiple tables.
• the layout and connections of the Marshlink line between Ashford and Hastings was unhelpful, wasted space and made it hard to follow, showed totally spurious connecting services and included rows that didn't have a single time on them anywhere.
I look forward to scanning through it and seeing how much they've improved and how much they have made worse!

OK, first thoughts - the structure generally looks better 👍🏻, in that each table only shows direct services (although there are times when maybe connections would have been helpful, overall I think this is easier to read) and seems to mostly have a more coherent set of services - but the typography is dreadful 👎🏻 and looks very much like something home-made in Microsoft Word rather than professionally produced. Also, disappointing that "repeating patterns" are not shown, and they show the times for each and every train.

It's no bad thing if it is home made as long as it's clear and correct to be honest, and I do like the feature that every single time rather than repeating patterns are shown because it's all there rather than me having to spend a few seconds working out the time lol. The cost to professionally produce it only ends up being paid for by the rail user, so if something can be done just as well on the cheap, then that'll do for me.
