tunnel routes

There are various maps that claim to show the geographic routes of the tubes, as distinct from the Beck-style diagram, but none in my experience are completely accurate. Some of them are listed at http://owen.massey.net/tubemaps.html. For example, I have yet to see a map that shows the route of the Piccadilly Line east of South Kensington station with its two S-bends. The .pdf street maps displayed by the TfL Journey Planner are quite good if you want to check on a particular location. You need to combine a tube journey with a walking route or a bus journey in the area concerned. The best map I've found for showing the geographical routes of the tube lines is an NCP London Parking Guide map that I picked up free at the Motor Show a few years ago. An excerpt of the section north-east of South Kensington is at http://www.martinunderwood.f9.co.uk/SouthKen.jpg - this certainly shows one S bend between ALexander Road and Cromwell Road, and another very tight bend (although only a single bend) immediately east of South Kensington station. The map shows how accurately the earlier lines followed the routes of roads above them. |
