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

![]() I'm lost in the thread, so I will just reply to myself. I've uploaded a new version, with reworked Circle line (from High Street Kensington to King's Cross via Baker Street) - so the area of Paddington and Bayswater/Queensway situation fixed now. I hope that I did not introduce new mistakes, as I had to change most of the surrounding lines. NB: Do not bother checking Bakerloo west of Warwick Avenue, and Met/ Jubilee north of Baker Street - I will redraw them during the weekend. http://www.fxfp.com/lib/tube/ |

A small addition to the thread - I've changed some URLs that I posted
before. To find the map use the main URL (it will remain useful): http://www.fxfp.com/lib/tube/ This is due to the release of first test version of future extensions map - only first phase of East London Railway so far (and Regent's Park :-P ). But I have huge plans - for example I'm preparing historical map for 22nd Dec 1932 (I wonder if anybody will guess all 5 reasons that made me choose that particular date?). |

I know you've been subjected to a lot of comments and corrections to try to get the relative geography of the lines correct. There is one station where the alignment of lines relative to their interchange is not right. At West Ham the Jubilee platforms are to the south of the District / H&C and their platforms are to the east of the Jubilee Line. Up to you if you wish to make this change or not. -- Paul C Admits to working for London Underground! |

Was this the date of the first diagrammatical map by Harry Beck? Or the last non-diagrammatical Tube map? I don't think any stations or lines were opened (or closed) on that date and the LPTB was not formed till 6 months later. Wembley Park, Kingsbury, Queensbury, Canons Park and Stanmore were opened near that time. Nick -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

1. I want to make a map featuring maximum (or close to maximum) spread
of the independent Metropolitan railway (Stanmore branch, Brill, Aylesbury, Uxbridge road, etc). So it limited my selection to Dec 10 1932 (opening of Stanmore branch*) - 30 June 1933 (last day before LPTB took over) range. 2. Then I decided to concentrate on 1932, since I wasn't sure that Metropolitan was intact in 1933 (after all probably they weren't overtaken in one day, and probably there was some preparatory work in advance). Also 1932 had many other differences to 1933, which made the map more interesting - Piccadilly extension to Cockfosters unfinished, Piccadilly not serving Hounslow and Uxbridge, British Museum still on Central, etc. So the range was limited to Dec 10 1932 to 31 Dec 1932. 3. Then I decided to exclude Christmas and period after it (some services could be cut back at the time of the holidays). So Dec 10 to Dec 24. 4. The next dates to go were 24th (Saturday and X-mas Eve) and 23rd (Friday, just in case some services could be limited at the end of the work week). Which left me with December 22nd. I checked it and did not find any conflicting events - except something like signing of Maldivian (or Maltese?) constitution, but I can survive that. And it means that I have only 2 real reasons (4 with a stretch). Oops! Sorry. By the way, it would be nice to find some information about last year of Metropolitan. Current reasons for nationalisation sound very dry, but there was some struggle I suppose (and hope). Metropolitan seems to be such influental and interesting company, that for some mis- guided reason was overtaken by state and slowly cut down into pieces (process that started immediately after take over and ended only in 1990). ---------------------------------------------------- * without Queensbury |

If you're going to use your design for historical maps, you might want to change the Jubilee Line alignment at Baker Street, where currently you show it as crossing the Bakerloo at right angles. The T-junction of the Stanmore branch with the rest of the Bakerloo would look odd on, say, a 1940 map. In fact the Jubilee line to Bond Street leaves Baker Street going north-west along roughly the same alignment as the Bakerloo. You can see the route it takes by asking the TfL Journey Planner for a journey from postcode W1G 6BW to Westminster station, specifying no buses. Most of the journeys offered should start with a walk to Baker Street and then the Jubilee, and the "start map" for the walk will show the route of the Jubilee Line in that area. -- Richard J.

Hi Alex.
What an interesting map / thread-about-the-map this is. It would be interesting to see a series of how your various repositionings and re-workings have progressed, maybe. Now, I don't know much about where the lines go and that sort of thing, but I do know that Willesden Green station is actually due north of Kensal Green station (I used to live around there, and wandered around a bit), and they're actually pretty close to each other. This is pretty easy to see on Google Maps (or, I imagine, an A-Z or similar ;-). I'm not sure how you'd be able to cram all those Bakerloo Line stations in next to the Metropolitan line if you moved everything back towards the east, but I guess that would be for you to work out, and the rest of us to nitpick over... Keep up the good work! -- Adam |
