The Beck diagrammatic approach is probably best for general use but it is very interesting to see a more geographical approach. Not sure about the choice of colour for the DLR though. RPM |

I was going to criticise your use of 'critique' as a verb in the
title of this thread, but http://www.answers.com/critique&r=67 , although referring to it as 'pretentious jargon', then seems to suggest that it's becoming an acceptable usage... so I'll shut up and go to bed. |

People have been verbing more and more nouns in recent years. |

Well, I'm not a native speaker... thanks for correction - I *really* appreciate this! |

I like it - presumably it is roughly to scale? "roughly" is correct term for that. I try to make it similar to reality, but still skip on some real-life details to make it readable. Not sure about the choice of colour for the DLR though. Well, I don't want to use stripes, so I had to pick some *similar* colour... |

Bank is if anything closer to Cannon Street than it is to Monument. Peter |

Peter Does the little line on the stations (like between the bakerloo and Jubilee at Bakers Street) indicate a same level interchange? If so, Bakerloo - Victoria lines at Oxford Circus is same level, rather than central - Vic. |

If so, Bakerloo - Victoria lines at Oxford Circus is same level, rather than central - Vic. Central-District at Ealing Broadway is also same-level, as it is (and is correctly shown) at Mile End. It's interesting that a deep level Tube line has two widely-separated same-level interchanges with a sub-surface line, despite not sharing tracks and having quite different histories. |

If so, Bakerloo - Victoria lines at Oxford Circus is same level, rather than central - Vic. And in terms of spacing, the Bakerloo and Victoria are clearly very close, and parallel at Oxford Circus. Spacing is all wrong in Euston/KX area where the vertical scale is about 5x the horizontal (and the Northern is virtually underneath the Circle, at KX, iirc) Similar comments in many places - but is this map trying to be any more than "join the dots"? -- Roland Perry |
