Members might like to know about this new pocket map published last
month.

ISBN 9780955323775

It shows buses, tubes, trains, trams and ferries across London out to
the M25.

One side is daytime networks, reverse shows night time.

Available from London Transport Museum and Amazon.

Interesting stuff... There is a lot of black-on-dark-grey writing on
the night side, which IMO is a mistake in a map which would often be
used in poor light.

Unless they've printed it in luminous ink!

Non-radioactive luminous paint needs to be exposed to light before it glows
back for an hour or so, so unfolding a map in the dark would create no glow.

Yes, so if they've any sense, they'll have used the radioactive sort.

I wonder what other, non-carcinogenic, technologies there are for this
now. Electroluminescent ink printed on a thin film of organic conductor?
