Thanks! The journalist is an airhead... mailbiter's comment sums her
up beautifully.

The map is better, but it makes little attempt to show the lines in
the right place... obvious errors are showing the Jubilee at right
angles to the Bakerloo at Baker Street, even though there is a
cross-platform interchange. The District is shown not crossing the
Central Lines near Ealing Broadway, and the Chiltern line is shown
too far from Finchley Road station to make room for the name. The Vic
and Picc are shown at an angle at Finsbury Park although they too are
cross-platform... likewise for Vic and Bak at Oxford Circus.


It's a bit neither-fish-nor-fowl isn't it? It is fairly good at showing
distances between stations though.
