The proper (quadrant) maps are now very difficult to find on the new
website. If I hadn't already known they existed and made a determined
effort (5+ minutes), I'd probably never have found them. And
apparently, even they are under threat and may get the chop soon.


In that case you need some new glasses.

1. Go to www.tfl.gov.uk
2. Click on buses
3. Click on bus route maps

Seems like a fairly logical place to put them.


Now that's odd - the "buses" link in step 2 doesn't appear in Opera,
although it does in IE.

Anyway, the way I tried to find them was equally logical, apart from
the thing that actually worked:

1. Go to www.tfl.gov.uk
2. Click on "maps" (top-right corner)
3. Click on "bus route maps"
4. As none of the other links on the page look relevant, spend ages
looking through the alphabetical listings for them (which incidentally
contain the night bus spider maps for NE and SW London, but not NW or
SE London - why?), unsuccessfully
5. As a last resort, click "bus and tram" on the left-hand side of the
screen, which unexpectedly takes you straight to the quadrant maps.
