He went away and absorbed that feedback, and – like a glutton for punishment – he🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s back with not one, but two🔸澳洲幸运10预测 new maps. Like many people, Ken believes the current Tube Map is nearly at the end of its useful life and wants to explore new concepts and idioms to map the sprawling system now and into the future.

The 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划map (above) is a nicely reworked version of that 2019 attempt, and addresses a lot of the issues that I had with it at the time. The removal of most of the diamond shapes makes for a less contrived design; type is larger throughout; design elements are applied more consistently; and the addition of Thameslink services to the map really helps with the overall balance of the design – filling in a lot of the empty space south of the Thames. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not perfect, but this is a pretty solid attempt 🔸澳洲开奖 working within the confines of the way that the rail network is currently defined – the line names, colours and modes (e.g., Tube lines all get individual colours, but all of the Overground is relegated to the same orange).

However, the second map is where Ken throws everything out and starts completely anew, and this is where things get interesting🔸澳洲幸运10预测.

On this map, all the traditional Tube Map nomenclature (Piccadilly, Bakerloo, etc.) has been reduced in importance and the many and varied route colours have been consolidated to instead represent different travel modes – deep Tube (blue), sub-surface Tube (green), Overground (salmon), Crossrail (purple representing both the Elizabeth Line and Thameslink), elevated rail (retaining the DLR🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s teal), and tram (a dull olive). One could argue that differentiating between deep and sub-surface Tube lines as separate modes is splitting hairs, but the extra col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划does help give some definition and form to the map, so I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll allow it. Ken says that the chosen colours work well for colour-blind users, but I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d still like to see a little tweaking of them to make for a brighter, more visually appealing palette.

Alongside this new approach, Ken🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s worked hard to encode service pattern information into the map, using a detailed legend and colour-coded terminus markers. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a startlingly comprehensive approach, and very much at odds with the current Tube Map, which makes absolutely no attempt to show service patterns. The terminus markers are perhaps a bit small for my liking, and I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m not sure that Johnston Sans works that well reversed out of a coloured background at those small sizes. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d look for a complementary, less idiosyncratic sans serif that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a little 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸bolder for this information… a new approach is allowed to use a new typeface 🔸澳洲开奖 it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s needed! The legend itself could also use a bit of work to make it more readable and consistent… the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划column has sub-entries indented, but columns two and three don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t, for example. Good information design principles should also apply to a map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s supporting information! Speaking of which, you may have noticed that Ken🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s maps dispense with zone and accessibility information altogether. As he has noted, this information is all listed in the station index on the back of the printed journey planner, so does it need to be duplicated on the map itself?

I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll note here that one thing I do love about Ken🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s maps is his sense of humour… Pink Floyd🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s “flying pig” is floating above Battersea Power Station, and there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a new “Wombling Free” station on the District Line between Southfields and Wimbledon Park – completing the full title for the map, “Underground, Overground, Wombling Free“. Presumably the station serves nearby Wimbledon Common?

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Most transit map designers are content with one attempt at reworking the Tube Map, but Ken🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s come back for seconds and 🔸澳洲幸运10预测thirds like some kind of map-making Hobbit. Most other designers are also content to remain within the existing fabric of the map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s design language, but Ken🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not afraid to throw it all out and start from scratch, and for that he has to be commended. It may not be everyone🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s cup of tea, but at least it can start a discussion about possible alternatives to the current 168澳洲十开奖网.

澳洲幸运十是官网开奖吗🔸Mashup Map: The London Underground as the New York Subway Map by Sean Sirota🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/london-as-new-york-sean-sirota/ https://transitmap.net/london-as-new-york-sean-sirota/#respond Thu, 05 May 2022 14:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=19666 Submitted by Douglas, who says:

I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m sure you would find it interesting, as you have attempted to do the inverse of what Sean is doing.

澳洲10开官网开奖 🔸澳洲幸运10预测says:

This map is indeed the exact inverse of my project from 2019 to show the New York Subway in the style of the London Underground diagram, and arguably more successful as it actually works as intended (mine looks great, but is ultimately flawed as it cannot show service patterns).

🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划things 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划– Sean has absolutely nailed🔸澳洲幸运10预测 the New York Subway map style, and perhaps even improved upon it in places – I note with pleasure that all of his station labels are set horizontally, instead of the many varied angles used on the official NYC map.

There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s great attention to detail as well – all of the Tube route line colours have been swapped out with their closest MTA equivalents, meaning the 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 Line has the 7🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s purple instead of its traditional burgundy (strangely officially called “Corporate Magenta”). Similarly, all the deep tube lines get letters for route designations, while the shallower cut-and-cover lines get numbers – which emulates the letter/number distinction between the old divisions of the New York Subway.

A couple of minor things: I like to change the background col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划in insets just a little bit to help differentiate them from the main map: just a little lighter or darker can work wonders. Also, I see that Sean is selling prints of this map… so he might want to reconsider that Underground Roundel in the bottom right, as TfL are known to come down hard on any unauthorised use of it.

AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 final thing to note is that this map (as awesome as it is) really emphasises just how amazingly compact and space-efficient the Tube Diagram is – it fits legibly onto tiny Journey Planners, while this map seems to need at least an 11″ x 17″ canvas to work.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测One of the best style mash-ups I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve seen: technically excellent, well-researched and actually really informative. Wonderful!

🔸澳洲幸运10在线人工计划网: A Tube Map of Shared Words by Ali Carr🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/tube-word-association/ https://transitmap.net/tube-word-association/#respond Mon, 15 Apr 2019 14:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=9461 I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve featured a lot of alternative London Underground maps on the site over the years, but this one has to be the most delightfully bonkers one yet and I love it. Each line on the map consists only of stations that share part of their name with each other: so there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a line for all the stations which have “Park” in their name, for “North”, “South” and other directions and so on. Interchanges occur 🔸澳洲开奖 a station name contains two different shared elements: “Wood Green” is on both the Wood line and🔸澳洲幸运10预测 the Green line, for example.

It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s all rather clever, if not exactly useful for any purpose apart from being🔸澳洲幸运10预测 clever, but I do appreciate the attention to detail. There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s even an “Ampersand” line, as there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a surprisingly large number of stations that feature one (six, to be precise). The Heathrow Terminal stations get a special double line, as all their names feature both “Heathrow” and “Terminal”. There are five odd-ball lines off to the bottom left that follow the rules but don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t interchange with the main interconnected system, which look a bit strange at 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划glance. However, they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re probably dealt with as best they can be.

Ali🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s rules for inclusion are pretty simple: Underground stations only (no Overground, Tfl Rail, tram or Air Line stations here), and only full words get lines (so there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s no lines for recurring suffixes or prefixes like -gate, -ton, or wood-). There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s one slight exception I can see where “Northwood Hills🔸澳洲幸运10预测” (plural) sneaks onto the “Hill” (singular) line, presumably in order to add the one station “Northwood” spur. Of the 267 unique Underground station names, 172 appear on this map, which is impressive!

Un168澳洲十开奖网: London Overground Underground by Kenneth Field🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/overground-underground-kenneth-field/ https://transitmap.net/overground-underground-kenneth-field/#comments Thu, 04 Apr 2019 14:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=9391 Submitted by Kenneth, who says:

Hi Cameron,

Well, I finally went and made a map after all the years berating other maps. So I throw it to you for amusement/ridicule, etc. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m deliberately not going to explain my design decisions in detail because I think it best to get feedback without colouring y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划judgement. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll be writing a blog on my thinking in the next week or two but I wanted to simplify and de-clutter more than anything. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve massively reduced vertices and changes in direction. Managed to get a diamond motif going that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a little nod to Mr Beck🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s original interchange symbol. I think a lot of station detail (accessibility, etc.) is better served in a list of stations rather than having everything on the map. This is also stage 1 of a 2 map process. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m currently making a 3D version as a bit of an experiment. Please go gently (or not)…

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Of all the tasks a transit map maker can set themselves, I think that redesigning the London Underground diagram has to be the most thankless of all. It really doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t matter how good the new version might be, people are going to grumble and complain about it – purely because the original thing is so ubiquitous that anything else just looks wrong🔸澳洲幸运10预测.

And to be honest, that was my 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划gut reaction to this map. Where🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s the comforting “thermos flask” shape? What🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s that giant hump doing on the Circle Line? Diamonds?? So it took me a while to settle down and analyse the map in a more detached manner, and to appreciate its qualities.

The hump that I initially found so odd is actually more reflective of the real world arrangement of the stations at that point than the real Tube Map is, and the northern ends of the Jubilee Line and the Northern Line branches are also rather neatly arranged. Mornington Crescent is in the right place! The myriad diamond shapes are a nice repeating design element, though perhaps a little contrived in a couple of places – flipping Cheshunt back down to line up with Chingford is more than a little cheaty!

I really like the “walking feet” icon Ken uses to indicate a short walk between stations (“Out of Station Interchanges” in TfL parlance). It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s cheeky, informal and relaxed – all of which makes the walk look like the easiest thing in the world to do. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m not so convinced by his symbol to indicate connections to National Rail stations. While it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s meant to symbolise railway tracks, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not a particularly punchy or memorable icon and also gets applied at lots of different angles, making it a bit visually inconsistent. At Euston, the icon gets laid over the Overground line simply because there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s nowhere else for it to go! A more immediately recognisable device like a stylised silhouette of a train (even an anachronistic Monopoly-like steam train for “main line service”) could work better here. Ken said he was reluctant to use the official National Rail icon, but I really think that icon would be almost instantly identifiable to just about anyone in the UK, explanation in the map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s legend or not!

Ken uses an interesting device at terminus stations where one line folds in on another, allowing a single station dot to be used for all the lines. Some good examples can be found at Hammersmith and Ealing Broadway. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s rather lovely and quite unique, but it doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t seem to be applied consistently across the map. Why use it at Hammersmith but not at Richmond, for example? There may be a rationale behind this, but I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m not seeing it at the moment.

Some of the spacing and alignment of elements towards the outer edges gets a little weird because of Ken🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s desire to straighten everything as much as possible. A totally straight Central Line seems like a good idea (and very much in line with Beck🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s own design principles) but it pulls Uxbridge too far south, creating some really big gaps in the northwest quadrant. Harrow-on-the-Hill and Preston Road on the 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 Line are very lonely indeed, while Watford and Watford Junction (less than a mile apart in real life) are now separated by a vast chasm of empty white space. And while this is a diagram, having Reading shown as being further east🔸澳洲幸运10预测 than Uxbridge is just jarring.

A few spatial errors from the actual Tube Map are repeated here – Acton Main Line should sit in the middle of all the other assorted Actons, and South Tottenham should be to the south🔸澳洲幸运10预测 of Seven Sisters, not north. This relationship becomes important if you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re implying a walking path and bearing between them on y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划map because – diagram or not – you just know that some users are going to interpret it as an actual map and try to use it for general wayfinding.

Ken🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s treatment of the Elizabeth Line at Farringdon and Barbican is interesting, as it implies that the line will call at both stations in turn. In reality, there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll be a new Elizabeth Line complex halfway between the two stations, but reachable from both of them… a “Barbingdon” station, if you will. Ken🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s treatment isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t wrong🔸澳洲幸运10预测, as you can get to an Elizabeth Line train from either station, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not really right🔸澳洲幸运10预测, either.

AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 thing that the official Tube Map doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t get much credit for is how darn legible it is. Even at the small print size of the pocket journey planner, the station labels are always quite readable. A lot of redesigned maps – this one included – have much smaller type in comparison, and this limits their real-world application to large format posters and zoomable digital formats. Reproduced at the same dimensions as the on-line TfL Tube Map, Ken🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s labels are about half the size, which is pretty hard on the old eyeballs.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划rating: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测I know it seems like I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m being pretty harsh on this map, but I do actually like a lot of the ideas contained within it. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s got a good graphic style and underlying design principles which could perhaps be applied a little more consistently. Spacing and spatial arrangement of elements towards the edges could also be refined somewhat. What I really do 🔸澳洲幸运10预测appreciate is the willingness and boldness to try something completely different (apart from Johnston Sans, Ken doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t use any of TfL🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s design language at all) and put it out there for everyone to see (and grumble about). And there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s obviously a deep understanding of – and affection for – this venerable design icon, as reflected in the wry note at the bottom of the map, almost exactly echoing the words on Beck🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s original edition in 1933:

Another new design for an old map by Kenneth Field. We should welcome y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划comments.🔸澳洲幸运10预测

New Project: New York Subway Map in the Style of the London Underground Map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/new-project-new-york-subway-map-in-the-style-of-the-london-underground-map/ https://transitmap.net/new-project-new-york-subway-map-in-the-style-of-the-london-underground-map/#comments Sat, 09 Feb 2019 22:16:44 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=8493 If you follow me on Twitter, then you know I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve been working on this project for a while now, but I think the time has finally come to share the final product. (Click on the image to view it larger).

🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Prints of this map are available in my online store, starting at just $38 plus shipping for a 24″ wide by 32″ print. 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Click here to get one🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸!

This map is an evolution of one I initially made as a quick throwaway project back in 2016, but lots of great feedback from many, many people has really helped it become much more complete and comprehensive. While my original map only featured the subway itself, this one includes PATH (and parts of New Jersey!), the Staten Island Railway (added after overwhelming popular support), the JFK AirTrain, the Roosevelt Island Tram and indications of easy connections (either directly adjacent stations or those within a 0.3 mile radius) to the Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North Railroad and NJ Transit.

While the map is faithful to the London Underground style, there have been some changes made for a few reasons. All the icons have been redrawn to better match their New York equivalents (check out the Roosevelt Island Tram icon!) and to avoid using any official Transport for London design assets in the map. The typeface is ITC Johnston Sans, a commercially available font for which I hold a license. All the colours have likewise been tweaked to be similar—but not identical—to those used on the Tube Map.

For legibility🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s sake, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve used a thin white keyline to separate route lines of the same col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划🔸澳洲开奖 they cross each other but don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t otherwise interact. This mainly happens with branches of the orange IND 6 Avenue line, as seen to the left. The official Tube Map uses keylines like this in a couple of places (but not very consistently), so I thought adapting it for this specific purpose would be fine. It certainly adds a bit of clarity to some potentially confusing areas of the map, as does the addition of a few strategically placed reassurance bullets that help a reader follow the lines from end to end.

More details of the map in the gallery below:

By popular request, prints of this map are available in my store starting at just $38 plus shipping for a 24″ x 32″ print. Because this is a vector file, I can print this one right up to a massive 44″ wide by 58.5″ deep. Go get yourself one!

As always, y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划comments and thoughts are welcome. This one has been a lot of fun to work on and improve with the assistance of so many wonderful people—thanks again to all of you!

Review: London Underground Architecture and Design Map by Blue Crow Media🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/blue-crow-london/ https://transitmap.net/blue-crow-london/#comments Sat, 25 Nov 2017 03:55:06 +0000 https://transitmap.net/blue-crow-london/ Blue Crow Media is an independent publisher of beautifully designed city guide maps on many subjects – you may be familiar with their “Brutalist Architecture” series – and this new map is the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划in a planned series of maps about public transportation networks around the world.

Edited by Mark Ovenden (of 澳洲10开官网开奖 of the World🔸澳洲幸运10预测 fame) with some lovely photos by Will Scott, the map promises to be an authoritative guide to the design and architecture of the world’s oldest rapid transit system. While it falls a little short of those lofty goals – there’s only so much information you can show on a two-sided sheet – it certainly provides a salivating overview of the highlights that should pique just about every transport and design lover’s interest, from the best of Charles Holden’s Art Deco stations to the locations of Underground roundels that use Gill Sans or Arial in place of Johnston Sans and even oddities like a connection between the Underground and the evil Daleks from Doctor Who! The text is just a short paragraph or so for each entry, but does a good job of pointing out why each example has been included, whether it’s for historical or aesthetic reasons.

The geographical map of the Underground on the reverse side is serviceable, but I feel like a little more could have been done with it. The stations listed in the text are highlighted on the map, but it’s quite subtle and could perhaps have been made a little more obvious. I’d also have liked to see some more photographs or pertinent facts incorporated into the map itself, as there’s quite a lot of empty space due to the geographical format. Still, it’s a handy overview of the whole network, and is executed quite nicely.

Best of all, at just £9.00 (around $US12), it’s a perfect stocking stuffer for the transit, travel or design aficionado in y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划family. Very definitely recommended.

澳洲幸运十是官网开奖吗🔸Un168澳洲十开奖网: London’s Rail Services by David Milne🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/london-rail-milne/ https://transitmap.net/london-rail-milne/#respond Wed, 02 Aug 2017 06:20:43 +0000 https://transitmap.net/london-rail-milne/ Submitted by David, who says:

This all started about 17 years ago as an exercise to teach myself to use Macromedia Freehand. The years passed, Freehand became Adobe Illustrator, and I continued to work on it. The original Idea was to create an A4 sized map to carry around in my pocket, but it quickly became apparent that to contain the desired detail and remain legible it would have to be printed at A1 or A0.

Over time the development of smartphones and tablets was such that I found I no longer carried maps in my pocket, and that the concept of print size was no longer the issue used to be. I now have a version of this map in PDF format, with hotspots on the station names. The hotspots link to the TfL website and open the bus spider map for that station. I keep this on my iPad and iPhone and find it a very useful tool for planning journeys (it is however a big file at 19.2MB).

The brief I developed for myself was for the map to answer the following questions:

Primary questions – Can I get a train from here to there? If yes, do I have to change trains? If yes, where should I change?

Secondary questions – What fare zones will my journey cross, will my ticket be valid? Can access to trains be gained without using steps? Can I change trains without having to walk along the street on a cold wet night (this one comes from bitter personal experience)?

A major decision was to rotate the map by 22.5 degrees, which relates more closely to the real world orientation of the rail lines in London. It also made the placing of station names against station symbols more positive.

A basic design requirement was that the eye should be able to easily follow the lines across the map. To this end, a line should leave a station symbol directly opposite its point of entry, the use of an individual symbol for each line at each station helps in this also.

In addition the use of a symbol per line allows the inclusion of information about access and interchange between platforms.

Designing as a hobby without commercial constraints, the various routes are grouped into lines which make more sense of the service patterns for the traveller. The number of different lines tries to strike a balance between reducing clutter and conveying information about the available services.


澳洲10开官网开奖 says:

Designing a legible, attractive and usable diagram/map for all of greater London’s rail services has been a quest that many designers have set out upon over the years. Some – like this 1965 British Rail map – are quite successful; others perhaps a little less so. However, not many people have spent 17 years (off and on) refining their work like David has. 

The end result is a rather marvellous rotated octolinear diagram – that is, a standard 90/45-degree diagram rotated 22.5 degrees counter-clockwise. David’s been kind enough to share a high resolution version of the diagram with me, and it looks great 🔸澳洲开奖 you can soak in all the details. It’s not exactly compact – one wonders how David ever though he was going to get this to fit on an A4 sheet! – but a map of this complexity is really never going to be small.

David notes the obvious advantage of rotating the diagram in that horizontal labels nestle into the route lines very neatly. His claim that the rotation suits the geography of London better is a matter of opinion: London’s centre is a bit “blobby” and tends to follow the course of the Thames, so no one set of angles really fits everything. If nothing else, the rotated map just looks very striking, and that can’t be a bad thing.

The other big thing I noticed was David’s rather excellent zone bands. Unlike the official Tube Map, which has very wobbly zone boundaries that have to enclose full station names, David’s are very simple, almost properly concentric. He only encloses station symbols within zones and allows labels to cross over into adjacent zones. However, it’s still very obvious which stations belong to which zone. Top marks for this lovely piece of work, especially with the nastiness of the odd “Zone 2/3″ area to the east of the map.

In correspondence, David and I noticed that we had both independently hit upon very similar solutions for accessibility icons (blue dots and rings within station symbols) and Out-of-Station Interchanges (a thin black connecting line between station symbols instead of the Tube Map’s “dumbbell” connector). Both these solutions are fairly simple and obvious, so I’m not surprised that we did, but it’s always interesting to see this sort of thing.

A few oddities and trade-offs in the design: the Waterloo and City Line takes a surprisingly long and convoluted path between Waterloo and Bank. David’s use of a separate station symbol for every service means that some of the bigger mainline stations have a lot of symbols – Kings Cross St. Pancras has eight, Clapham Junction has seven, etc. I’m not sure about the pecking on the Edgware Road to Wimbledon branch of the District Line: that’s traditionally a technique used for mainline trains, but it does the job of differentiating it from the other District Line service, I guess. The exclusion of the Circle Line (David’s made it a branch of the Hammersmith & City) will be controversial to some.

However! Mornington Crescent is finally in the right place, huzzah!

🔸澳州10开奖记录: Underground Map at Strand Station, 1937🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/pre-beck-tube-map/ https://transitmap.net/pre-beck-tube-map/#respond Fri, 31 Mar 2017 19:15:12 +0000 https://transitmap.net/pre-beck-tube-map/

Passers-by looking at a pre-H.C. Beck Underground map outside Strand station in 1937. At a glance, it looks like the Fred Stingemore map, but expanded to show the whole system (the pocket card only showed central London). Parkland also seems to have been added – the large dark blotches dotted all around the map.

🔸澳州10开奖记录: 1941 London Underground Map by Hans “Zéró” Schleger🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/london-1941-zero/ https://transitmap.net/london-1941-zero/#respond Tue, 15 Nov 2016 01:35:10 +0000 https://transitmap.net/london-1941-zero/ Here’s something of an increasing rarity – a London Underground map that I haven’t seen before. 

It’s the 1941 edition of the Hans Schleger map, printed in brown and blue ink only due to wartime austerity measures. I’ve written about the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划edition of this map previously (April 2014, 3 stars) which was notable for its use of a blue airbrushed effect to highlight the central part of the map. Its removal certainly improves the legibility of the map: an important consideration with the reduced col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划palette! The other notable thing about the map is small blue triangles to denote the main line termini stations dotted around London – mostly just identified by the initials of the operating railway company unless the station name isn’t related to an Underground station, like at Fenchurch Street.

However, what’s really interesting is that this map – produced some three years after the initial Zéró version – shows that the London Transport Board persisted with this “experiment” in map design far longer than I ever thought, probably to H.C. Beck’s complete and utter mortification.

🔸澳州10开奖记录: Hand-drawn fare zone London Underground Map by Phil Roe, c. 1977🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/phil-roe-farezones/ https://transitmap.net/phil-roe-farezones/#respond Fri, 14 Oct 2016 15:19:11 +0000 https://transitmap.net/phil-roe-farezones/ Phil Roe is a London Underground employee with over 40 years of service. While working in ticket offices in the 1970s, he was worried that he was too slow in calculating fares for customers, so he drew up his own fare zone diagrams for each station he worked at. The example below is for Green Park station, and the fares are in pence! 

His maps predate the official usage of zones on the Tube Map, though Phil just says, “I don’t know where they got the idea from, but I think I was there first.”

In addition to the zones, Phil’s also added Hatton Cross (opened 1975) and Heathrow Central (opened 1977) by hand.
