Is there a map showing routes of tube and rail tunnels?

The .pdf street maps displayed by the TfL Journey Planner are
quite good if you want to check on a particular location. You
need to combine a tube journey with a walking route or a bus
journey in the area concerned.


I've just realised that the JP maps are only accurate for
*current* LU lines. The tunnel from Drayton Park to Old Street is
shown as dotted straight lines from station to station.

The quadrant and central area bus maps on the London Buses website
appears to show the route of the line between Drayton Park and
Moorgate...

Not to be relied on. Old Street to Essex Road is shown as a convenient
gentle curve well to the west of the route under the main roads that the
Bartholomew map shows. The latter seems much more likely.

Elsewhere on the Central London bus map, the Victoria Line across
Islington is completely wrong, as is the Jubilee Line between Baker
Street and Bond Street.
