It's great (though it did give me a blue screen of death after a
couple of minutes of panning and zooming around).


I'm not sure what the reason for the blue screen is - it might have just
been a one-off thing with your PC.

Yes - you're probably correct. Didn't want to imply it was the site's
fault as such, but you seem keen on feedback so I thought I'd mention
it, as it happens very rarely on my PC (but not never, maybe once every
few months ). It had been a while since a reboot so who knows what mess
the memory was in. :-)

If this happens again, perhaps you can post the details of what operating
system you're using and if there was anything else you were running at the
time and I'll pass the information on to Franklin.

XP Pro, Firefox 4 and Thunderbird mainly, for what it's worth.

Cheers,

Dave

This is great. But ...

Any known errors from the v1.1 map have been corrected, but please let
Franklin know if you find anything that appears to be wrong

So far, just one:

While the "track moved" notation is correct for Highbury & Islington,
there should be former GN&CR track to the southbound tube platforms at
Finsbury Park and the Piccadilly should be shown as formerly using the
northbound ones.

Another: there's a missing former track at Harrow-on-the-Hill. Oh, and
the Cromwell Curve.

Thanks for both messages - I'll pass them on to Franklin. I should have
realised that the Drayton Park - Finsbury Park bit was missing. I spent a
lot of time looking over the track work between Drayton Park and Finsbury
Park when checking - I think it was a case of "can't see the wood for the
trees" :-)


Some background information
There are probably quite a few missing disused tracks / goods yards etc.
and, as I've found them I've passed the details on to Franklin. Originally
the disused Northern line details were included because I knew where they
were and it was thought that it might be interesting to add them in. After
much research by Franklin and myself, a lot of "old" information was
included for all lines on the map. Some more details were added for
version 2.

Apart from those tracks that we've missed, there are also some that may
have been left out deliberately because we couldn't get confirmation of
them. All this type of information was checked against at least two
sources (whatever they were - often the internet), and preferably more, so
as to try and ensure accuracy.

Sometimes there are places where the track layout has been changed
(possibly several times) and it's not always easy to show the old layout
clearly with the existing tracks and so it has just been left out
altogether.

This can mean that, as a consequence, the map seems a bit piecemeal from a
historical point of view, and indeed it is. However, whilst this can mean
that it's perhaps a bit misleading history wise as parts may be missing,
it was never the intention for it to be historically accurate. Franklin's
aim has been to have an accurate as possible current version of the map.
The historical bits are just a bonus for interest purposes (in the same
way that the NR track has been added in places) and, in a majority of the
cases, they are all complete.


Having said that, I know Franklin would welcome any information on any
missing tracks (preferably with links or references to where the details
can be found) and will try to include them if possible.

Wow. That's excellent. It's particularly handy for working out what
happens at complex junctions (eg all the lines around King's Cross).

Theo

Franklin has now added these, and also the Northern City line changes at
Finsbury Park. They will be in the next version of the map when Franklin
uploads it later on.
