Well, for that there will be "future extensions" map ;-)

Well west.

So it will go to: Euston - west of MC - Camden Town - ... -
Edgware?

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.

Typo. I meant "either side of South Quay". (Too many Quays...)

good as a through journey, so should be shown the same.

As you can see, I got stuck working out the Aldgate triangle and
whether to include the DLR, so East London is missing.

If you can find a continuous line on this map, you can cross London
without traipsing down tunnels or over footbridges. There's various
weirdness that exists solely to back up this point (eg showing where
terminating trains use inconvenient platforms). I've also tried to
show how the Met and Northern actually work, and I count the Northern
City as a tube service, albeit with limited hours. The current
Heathrow layout is probably a mistake. The way I've done Monument/Bank
is deliberate.

(inclusive).

Correct. There wasn't room to fix it any closer.

"Right-hand running on London Transport" was discussed in "The Why
and the Wherefore" section of The Railway Magazine in January 1968
(page 61), described as a reply to J. E. Salmon - probably the first
time I saw my name in print in any railway magazine. It included a
reference to the Victoria Line, 'now under construction'.

I'm now feeling quite old!

This is very good! I would suggest that between Earls Court and Acton Town,
the express line should be straight and the stopping line should be bendy,
rather than them being equally bendy ... and something similar on the
Met/Jubilee. The other thing is that the interchange slobs are not prominent
enough, meaning that it's not that easy to work out a route from A-B at all,
never mind the most convenient route.

It feels German to me, but I'm not sure why.

This was the reason why, after the derailment on the crossover at
Camden Town, the service was simplified so that all Bank branch went
to the Edgware branch, and all Charing Cross branch went to the Barnet
branch.

At Euston the two branches of the Northern Line are approximately at
right angles. The CX branch runs along Eversholt Street, while the Bank
branch takes a large loop, converging with the CX branch just south of
Camden Town. There are then the complex junctions, after which the two
branches follow along the two main roads northwards.

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.

The portrayal of Arsenal is odd, because of the great horizontal distance
between the station entrance and the platforms: they are trying to show the
station east of the Victoria Line, which the *entrance* may well be, but the
Picc tracks between Finsbury Park and Caledonian Road are far away
underneath the WCML's graceful curve.

I hope not! They're supposed to be under the *E*CML.

They've got the Victoria line passing straight under Buckingham Palace,
which I don't think it does.

It doesn't.

Did they explain the Northern Line's right-hand running around London
Bridge? I have never seen a full explanation of that; "Rails Through
the Clay", as I recall, says only that it is "related to the original
intention to use cable traction".
