On the Brompton Road thread someone mentioned that soon LUL will run
out of colours for the lines.
That reminded me of the days when some diaries, and I think the back
of the London A-Z used to include a map of the London Underground in
monochrome.
I vaguely remember various lines, stripes, circles and cross-hatchings
used to distinguish one line from another.

Great days!

The Victoria line's 'go faster stripe' matches it's (generally) rapid
operation, me thinks.

My only non-lost A - Z has got one on the back.

It's the 1990 Deluxe edition.

And that comment matches my self-diagnosis of apostrophitus.

That's not how it used to be.

District was a string of solid circles. Northern was solid black and
Circle was white with black edges.

Then I think Met was transverse stripes, the way they're showing the H&C
(in those days that was part of the Met, of course). I think Bakerloo
was alternate black and white the way they're showing it while the
Central was a string of triangles. That leaves the Piccadilly, and I
have no memory of what that looked like.

When the Victoria came along, it had diagonal stripes (like the H&C, but
with the stripes at 45 degrees to the borders).

Like the Met, but bolder.
