Does the little line on the stations (like between the bakerloo and
Jubilee at Bakers Street) indicate a same level interchange? If so,
Bakerloo - Victoria lines at Oxford Circus is same level, rather than
central - Vic.

It indicates cross-platform interchange - but Oxford Circus was
incorrect anyway.

It also leaves Waterloo heading north*west* before doing a sharp right
hand turn.

The Waterloo & City crosses under the District and Circle just west of
Blackfriars. Bank is if anything closer to Cannon Street than it is to
Monument.

Thank you!
I'll try to redraw that part, but something tells me it won't help
readability :-/

of
Blackfriars. Bank is if anything closer to Cannon Street than it is
to
Monument.



And I'd say that Liverpool St and Moorgate are too far north and need
to be closer to Bank and further from Old St.



BTW did anyone see that "shortwalk" map? A good idea in principle, but
there is no way anyone could *walk* between Bank and Waterloo in their
claimed 15 minutes...

Why, then, was the escalator link built between Bank and Monument rather
than between Bank and Cannon Street?

The location of a tube station can be taken as the location of its street
entrance, and on that basis Bank is slightly nearer to Cannon Street than it
is to Monument. However, the Northern Line platforms of Bank station lie
under King William Street, and at their southern end are quite close to
Monument station. Using the 'escalator connection' from the Waterloo & City
or Central Line to the District and Circle at Monument involved two or three
escalators, plus a walk the length of the Northern line platform.

Very nice, I'd move Gunnersbury up a bit to nestle more between Chiswick
Park and Acton Town, perhaps by moving Acton Town up the curve a bit
more, given that you have the district wiggle into Ealing Broadway
pretty much accurate it seems sensible to make the district better
reflect reality, where the lines to Richmond separate just outside
Turnham Green but run right past the back of Chiswick Park and then run
into a station barely more than a few hundred meters from the lines
running up to Acton Town.

Which is, of course, what the wikipedia version does. Though on it the
Thames ends mysteriously at Kew Bridge.

On a side note - are there any alternative geographical versions of the
london connections map? (a quick Google finds none)

London Transport used to issue a "proper" railway map (Underground
lines in usual colours, all BR lines black, main roads shown) the same
size as the bus map until the 1970s but it tended to be of variable
availability from other than the few information booths/offices.

I've seen a large (about 4ft square) geographical map that meets this
description, at the LT Shop in Covent Garden. Would have been about
eight years ago - not looked recently.

I think you are referring to the "London's Transport Systems" map,
which really was excellent. I think it was first issued in the 1960s,
and lasted into the mid-70s.

It was available in the same format as the bus maps of that era, and
was also displayed in the same size as the Underground map.

For some reason it seems quite rare - I haven't seen one in years, and
never on-line (which is a great pity).
