Default Critique my tube map

New version is now available:
http://www.fxfp.com/lib/tube/

- all cross-platforms now changed to single circle (with black centre)
- which lead to large changes for Piccadilly and Baker Street area
for all lines
- reworked area around Camden Town junction
- added missing link between Bank (DLR) and Bank (W&C)

Phew

It looked good before and looks even better now. I'm sure the pendants
will be around when the sun rises!

Oh, that is not right. That is really so very not right at all.


The geek in me thinks that's the coolest thing I've seen in ages.

Excellent!

Anyone else have a map of the tube et al they'd like to share? I propose
we collect them all together and have a MAP SHOWDOWN. Winner to receive
the Beck Cup and be crowned KING OF MAPS.

That is impressive.

One things these maps don't seem to be able to cater for in the
regular but occasional stop - e.g. the Met. stopping at Willesden
Green ?twice a day.


ICBW, but I don't think that happens any more.

The Metropolitan Line has unused platforms at Swiss Cottage station, so the
line should probably run closer to or through the station.


It's not really the same station. Just another one with the same name.


According to Wikipedia (referring to Swiss Cottage Jubilee):

"The new station initially operated as part of a combined station with
the Metropolitan Line's adjacent sub-surface Swiss Cottage station
(platforms 1 and 2 were Metropolitan Line and 3 and 4 were Bakerloo
Line) but the Metropolitan Line station was closed on 17 August 1940."

*waves*

I'm not sure you should use the dot symbol at Baker Street between Met
and Circle/H&C, as it isn't a cross-platform interchange in the usual
sense (of westbound-to-westbound and eastbound-to-eastbound).

There is level interchange between all of the following: Circle/H&C P5
(eastbound); Met P2 (through westbound trains from Aldgate); Met P1
(about half of terminating eastbound trains and starting westbound
trains). As for a way of indicating this, however...

Central-District at Ealing Broadway is also same-level, as it is (and is
correctly shown) at Mile End.


District to Central at Ealing Broadway isn't necessarily same-level -
if your train arrives at Platform 9, you must use stairs to reach the
Central


Turns out I was wrong about this - I'm informed that there is a ramp
around the ends of Platforms 8/9, allowing level access between P9 and
the rest of the Tube platforms.
