is on the left it will be at the B end of the train.

That is what would happen if the map was the same on both sides of
the car.

If I look on a map , east is on the right, west on the left. I'm afraid
the direction of travel argument is just BS. You might as well say turn
a car map upside down if you're heading south!

I wasn't suggesting otherwise but trying to identify the precise
condition you are trying to describe. I think what you're saying is that
whichever side of the train you sit on the end of the map showing
Walthamstow is at the end of the train pointing towards Brixton. To
achieve that they must have printed two separate sets of maps but
they've printed them both the "wrong way round".

That's a joke, right? They haven't printed them the wrong way around,
they've stuck them on the wrong sides.
