Default The Sponsored Tube Map

Hi,

Thought my fellow London transport afficionados might like this - it's a
mocked-up version of what the Tube Map could look like if TfL decided to
allow corporate sponsors to pay them lots of money in return for slight
tube station name-changes, e.g. Alliance & Leicester Square, Pimmslico,
BaysWaterstone's, etc.

All 326 stations have been 'sponsored' on this PDF:

Took ages to do, but feedback so far's been reasonably positive so
that's some consolation for the otherwise pointless loss of several days
of my life.

Apologies if you wait for the 470KB to download and then think it's
utter rubbish.

Paul

P.S. An edited extract of a hastily sent e-mail I wrote to the Londoner
has been unexpectedly printed in this month's issue. It's about Oyster
on National Rail. I don't think the Mayor's response to me reveals
anything new though. http://www.london.gov.uk/londoner/06mar/letters.jsp
