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!


Victoria Line and City branch of the Northern Line do have cross-platform
interchange at Euston. As you would expect, the cross-platform interchange
is between the northbound Victoria and northbound Northern Lines, and again
between southbound Victoria and southbound Northern Lines, though curiously
Victoria and Northern trains run in opposite directions through the station.
If you want to travel from Euston to Kings Cross (allowing for the walks to
and from the surface it's probably quicker to walk on the surface then whole
way) you take either a northbound Victoria Line, or a southbound Northern
Line, train.

The DLR also does two right-angle bends either side of Heron Quays.


I don't think so! It's straight from West India Quay to Heron Quays,
though there's a right-angle bend south of the latter.

* 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.


Well west.

I've reworked area around Bank, Liverpool Street, and Moorgate
implementing multiple suggestions - not sure if the map became nicer,
but at least it is more realistic now.

Also, I changed the District line beyond Barking - it was too curved.

And finally, I created a dedicated web page for the map (and future
versions and weekend updates):

Wow, Bank-Monument became complicated now but actually shows how the
different lines are located and how the main passageways goes between
them. Nice work I must say.

I think I need to find something else to complain about now... ;-)

The Circle Line and the Central Line are actually running parallell and
close to each other between Notthing Hill Gate and somewhere between
Bayswater and Paddington. Bayswater and Queensway are located very close
to each other, the entrances are just a few hundred meters apart.
Paddington to Lancaster Gate is not a long walk either. I think the
problem is that you have drawn Baker Street, Marylebone, Edgware Road
and Paddington very long way from the Central Line, maybe you can move
this part of the Circle and Bakerloo Lines down a bit.

Hmm, You can walk from W&C at Bank to DLR without going up to the
central line. So I would vote to make Bank even more complex adding
another connector...

You seem to have forgotten Regents Park on the Bakerloo.

It is hidden because the station is closed for refurbishment :-)

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!
