That map suffers from "joining the dots" syndrome, in common with every
other similar electronically produced railway map I've seen. So it gives
a general indication, much of the time, but there very many detailed
"errors". For example, the City branch of the Northern line is
completely wrong at Euston.
I *think* the bus maps have this one about right, but am prepared to be
corrected.
Unfortunately, the "Central" map (which is the one that would include
Euston) doesn't have the underground lines on it. Meanwhile, the various
'outer' maps don't show the detail inside the "Central" area.
Of course, there aren't very many interesting below surface lines
outside the "Central" zone. However, they have the approaches to Ealing
Broadway reasonably OK (but that's overground, anyway, so visible on
normal maps).
Would you like me to send you an old Central London bus map?
