Yes, I think that was a mistake. North is left. However, there
aren't many lines where that convention needs to be considered,
because the other lines have a sufficiently east-west trend to them.

I am pretty sure the East London Line had north to the left, but the

The only new bit being objected to when this thread started would seem to
be changing that general convention.

Maybe the change is that the Vic was thought of as East/West, and is now thought of
as North/South...
