Max Roberts – best known for his many alternative tube maps that he often produces – has come up with a map that he asked us for some help with, as we had the data as to whether a station and its trains’ directions were signed as ‘Northbound’, ‘Southbound’, ‘Westbound’ or ‘Eastbound’.
So he made a map (of which only a small part is shown here, go to Max’s newsletter page for the full version and other previous maps) which indicates how it would look if the map properly adhered to the direction that the platform sign indicates. e.g. it might say ‘Eastbound’ but on the map it’s running in a north/south direction!
Confusing? A little at first yes, but then take some time to study it and then realise for ever more so just how distorted the real tube map is!
Which direction?
