On the Victoria and Bakerloo they have used maps which are
different on each side, corresponding to the direction of travel.


Not recently on The Victoria. Did they ever on the Bakerloo?


Yes, there was a time when they both did. Â*I am not often paying
attention though, because I tend to know where the lines go.


If you say so but, although I've not used the Bakerloo often I don't
remember ever seeing different maps since the line split in the 1970s.


But you'll probably remember the awful District Line attempt, and it
would probably have been around the same time.


Yeah, you're right about it being awful. They could just about get away
with North/South lines being mirrored left-to-right, but it just plain
didn't work on the District going East/West.

And, of course, the loops on the Central, Piccadilly and Northern meant
there were never any mirrored maps on those lines.

(Were there ever any on the Jubilee?)
