Default Heathrow Piccadilly Line Closure

Do you mean like those abominations found on some other lines where the
way the line is drawn is relative to the side of the carriage its stuck
on?
So you have that incredibly logical situation of trying to a find a
station
in east london and having to look at the left hand side of the line map
(unless you use the mirror image diagram on the other side of the
carriage)?

Whoever though that idiocy should be locked up in a padded cell and
never
let near a map again. I don't expect to see street maps upside down or
back to front just because the wall they're on is facing a certain
direction
so who in gods name thought it would be a good idea for line diagram to
be
like that?
