FYI, I have designed a flash animation with collaboration with the London Transport Museum that shows the relationship between the London Underground Map, a geographical map and shows a streetmap too - just in case there are any doubters. Just thought you might find it interesting... Click on the link to The Real Underground at: http://www.fourthway.co.uk Its fascinating, I'd seen it before but had not noticed you could superimpose the street map. One small issue is that in the cartographic version Farringdon (I think) has been incorrectly labeled as Moorgate. It's a shame you have not indicated the positions of all of the stations, then I could be sure it was Farringdon and not Barbican. Yes, it is Farringdon, because that's where the bend in the Circle line occurs. It's very well done, even including gradual colour changes for the lines that changed colour after 1933 (e.g. Bakerloo red to brown). If I may suggest one change, it would be to include the kink in the Waterloo and City, which runs from Waterloo to Blackfriars, then turns right to run underneath Queen Victoria Street (nearly) as far as Bank. If there are any more criticisms then the map is simply going to be thrown into the dustbin. OK? You'd better tell that to the bloke that asked for a circular Circle line, then. ;-) -- Richard J.
