Tube maps - get them while you can!
 
According to Geofftech's blog (See http://www.geofftech.co.uk/iblog/ )
TfL are trying to get tube maps removed from the internet.

If you want any of the maps (
http://www.geofftech.co.uk/tube/sillymaps/ - some useful; some just for
fun) then download them ASAP in case TfL succeeds in getting them
removed.

There are mirrors at:

TfL want people to pay £290 + VAT + Royalties for this:

Yes, a small 8.5cm x 5.5cm map. And they seem to think people will pay
that!

Thanks for the warning, but I jumped the gun, and downloaded them all a few
weeks ago in case this sort of thing happened.
