Default Critique my tube map

A small addition to the thread - I've changed some URLs that I

useful): http://www.fxfp.com/lib/tube/

This is due to the release of first test version of future
extensions map - only first phase of East London Railway so far
(and Regent's Park :-P ). But I have huge plans - for example I'm
preparing historical map for 22nd Dec 1932 (I wonder if anybody
will guess all 5 reasons that made me choose that particular date?).


If you're going to use your design for historical maps, you might want
to change the Jubilee Line alignment at Baker Street, where currently
you show it as crossing the Bakerloo at right angles. The T-junction of
the Stanmore branch with the rest of the Bakerloo would look odd on,
say, a 1940 map.

In fact the Jubilee line to Bond Street leaves Baker Street going
north-west along roughly the same alignment as the Bakerloo. You can
see the route it takes by asking the TfL Journey Planner for a journey
from postcode W1G 6BW to Westminster station, specifying no buses. Most
of the journeys offered should start with a walk to Baker Street and
then the Jubilee, and the "start map" for the walk will show the route
of the Jubilee Line in that area.
