This BBC story, about the Paris metro map drawn by Harry Beck being exhibited in the new LT Museum, also has a small crop of the Tube map - which looks rather strange! Does anyone know what this map is/was used for, and if there is a full-size version available? |

The rearrangement around Paddingtion is for Crossrail which appears in
2016: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/downloads/...t-onthemap.pdf And also includes the West London Transit system, which brings the total number of stations in Acton to 8 (North, South, East, West, Central, Town, Vale, and just plain "Acton"). Not bad, considering it's about a quarter of the size of Portsmouth (rough guess by playing with a map and a ruler), which has 4 .... |

The current plan is to stop there, but I seem to remember that at one stage, when the two western branches were to Heathrow and Kingston, various stations were omitted from Crossrail's plan, including Acton Main Line and St Margarets. The TfL map was drawn up at that time. -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |

Also, I know we're getting the Olympics but there looks like a HUGE amount of rail track is to be added east of the Metrollops.
