I like it - presumably it is roughly to scale? 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.

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!

"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...

South Wimbledon and Wimbledon are much closer together and Wimbledon and
Morden are close too.


Updated (and fixed south District and Northern in general):

Also I made a special version of the map with tomorrow's disruptions
included (or excluded, to be exact):
http://www.fxfp.com/get/tube/2007/05/w_001.png

The Waterloo & City crosses under the District and Circle just west of
Blackfriars. Bank is if anything closer to Cannon Street than it is to
Monument.

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.

Also Royal Oak is about equi-distance between Paddington and
Westbourne Park

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.

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"?
