There's a new version out with Watford moved from Zone B to Zone A.
Clever Watford ;-)
Thought you'd all be fascinated by that bit of info....

The other change to the zones is that Crystal Palace has been moved
from Zone 4 to the Zone 3/4 boundary.

Neither of these changes are yet shown on the maps on the TfL/Tube web
sites.

got Zandra Rhodes to do another one...

You'd think at least they get an updated one that omits Aldwych,
and has the Jubille extention and the Victoria goign to
Brixton.... --

I always thought the Victoria stopped where it does (roughly where
Pimlico is) because it was created to advertise the Tate Gallery (now
Tate Britain) and the stop for that is Pimlico.

That's right.. The painting is called The Tate Gallery by Tube but I
still hate it....

Doesn't surprise me; on New Year's Day it was saying that the Waterloo
and City was closed in one paragraph and running a Monday to Friday
timetable in the next....
(As were the corresponding leaflets BTW)

Just aesthetics, I suppose.
But then there's not much underground publicity that I think is well
designed anyway.

I quite like it. I've actually had a poster of it since I was quite
young.

I don't like the way a lot of recent Underground publicity is moving
away from the use of New Johnston (e.g. the We (underground logo)
London stuff).

Obviously an alternative universe, as there wasn't a sub-surface line
running through Pimlico at the time the film was made/set!

How much of the original poster is used on the map?
It's the balance you see... it seems wrongly placed to me.
Of course, this sort of thing is totally subjective.

I've just looked at an EWSA; the cover is New Johnston but the contents
seems to be something different..

But there must have been *some* sort of Underground line, since the film
shows a train being stopped and boarded by Stanley Holloway for passport
checks before being allowed into Pimlico. I can't remember whether it was a
tube or subsurface train :-)

Isn't that the one on the old poster advertising the Tate Gallery? The
one that's the most popular poster in the LT Museum Shop

The best thing I've seen recently was the Week 52 - 1 TC and the worst
the leaflet-cover/poster about 24 hour service on New Year's Eve.
Judging on the number of people who asked me what time the trains were
going to stop that night, I'd say that it didn't get the message across
very well.
