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... Click on the link to The Real Underground at:

That is excellent!
Working for the Underground, I have to admit that I've been having
sacrilegious thoughts about the Beck type map for a while now.
It may be time we thought about having a more realistic version
for visitors to London; if only to replace the Connections map.


I do think it would be a good idea to have both a geographical map and
a diagrammatic map at stations. If you are familiar with the
diagrammatical map it can be really quite surprising to see how close
some stations are, how far apart others are and how they're really
geographically related.
