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. I've just realised that the JP maps are only accurate for *current* LU lines. The tunnel from Drayton Park to Old Street is shown as dotted straight lines from station to station. It was the programme last night on tube crash that got me thinking where the tunnels go from Drayton Pk down to Moorgate - my office is in New North Rd and I wonder if I'm above said tunnels, but seems there is no easy way to find out. Also, there is news that a listed museum in Spitalfields is worried about location of Crossrail tunnels. Not sure why that is "news" - people in Spitalfields have been campaigning against Crossrail for years - but anyway Crossrail's detailed tunnel alignments have been made available to people affected for some time. My map shows the Northern and Moorgate to Finsbury Park lines running (together) up Moorgate and City Road to Old St station. Just north of here, they diverge, with the Finsbury Park line running under East Road and then New North Road to Essex Road station where the line continues along Canonbury - and off the edge of my map! It continues along Canonbury Road, short-cutting the last bit to reach Highbury & Islington station. (On my 1956 map, it was Highbury station, across the road from "Islington & Highbury station" on the NLL.) Then under Highbury Fields to Drayton Park station. -- Richard J.

Not to be relied on. Old Street to Essex Road is shown as a convenient gentle curve well to the west of the route under the main roads that the Bartholomew map shows. The latter seems much more likely. Elsewhere on the Central London bus map, the Victoria Line across Islington is completely wrong, as is the Jubilee Line between Baker Street and Bond Street. -- Richard J.
