I've been reading some posts recently that asked about the
availability of a geographical underground map. FYI, I have designed
a flash animation with collaboration with the London Transport Museum
that shows the relationship between the London Underground Map, a
geographical map and shows a streetmap too - just in case there are
any doubters. Just thought you might find it interesting...

Its fascinating, I'd seen it before but had not noticed you could
superimpose the street map.

One small issue is that in the cartographic version Farringdon (I
think) has been incorrectly labeled as Moorgate. It's a shame you have
not indicated the positions of all of the stations, then I could be
sure it was Farringdon and not Barbican.

Yes, it is Farringdon, because that's where the bend in the Circle line
occurs.

It's very well done, even including gradual colour changes for the lines
that changed colour after 1933 (e.g. Bakerloo red to brown). If I may
suggest one change, it would be to include the kink in the Waterloo and
City, which runs from Waterloo to Blackfriars, then turns right to run
underneath Queen Victoria Street (nearly) as far as Bank.
