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!

As it happens, though, the diagrams you are looking at aren't maps,
they are diagrams. If they were maps they'd need more vertical
space. The diagrams are usually arranged so that, where possible,
they "point" in the direction the train is travelling. Like it or
not, a lot of people find that very helpful.
Sorry , I've NEVER come across someone who found it convenient having a map
the opposite way around to the diagram on the main map. Perhaps the central
line should do it too so that epping is on the "west" side and ruislip on
the "east" then on one side of the train?
