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.


And Euston Square is shown directly south of Euston, which it[1] (or
the passenger entrance, at least) isn't.

[1] Well, the platforms are, which is why it amazes me there was never
an entrance provided from the Euston complex.
