Default Critique my tube map

In message , at 21:02:12 on Sun,

* Canary Wharf Jubilee Line station is actually located east of the DLR
bridge between Canary Wharf and Heron Quays.


The DLR also does two right-angle bends either side of Heron Quays. But
as has been said, how much is the map trying to plot the exact course of
each line, as well as the position of the stations?

the two parts of the Charing Cross station, Bakerloo and Northern, are
located longer from each other than Charing Cross and Embankment
platforms on the Northern Line. Maybe you could let the Northern Line
cross over the Bakerloo south of Waterloo or something so that you can
draw the Northern Line's Embankment and Charing Cross stations closer.


The Charing Cross Bakerloo line "station" is the former Trafalgar Square
station, and is noticeably west of the northern line part of the
station.

* There is cross-plaform interchange between the Northern Line branches
at Kennington.


I think the City branch of the Northern Line goes west of Mornington
Crescent. And if the Northern and Victoria have a cross-platform change
at Euston (I forget if it's true) then they shouldn't really be shown
crossing at right angles!
