I am reading The Hampstead Tube: The Story of the First 100 Years, which contains a reproduction of a poster issued by London Electric Railways when the Camden Town junctions were opened. Like the pic that started this tread, the southbound lines are shown the wrong way round.
Presumably LER felt that passengers would be confused if the West End line was shown going east of the City line. The junction tunnels were shown correctly, and it did not matter if the line labelled "Charing Cross" actually went to Moorgate.
Interestingly, the Underground maps of the time showed the lines correctly, as did early Beck maps.

Speaking of Camden Town, I notice that there's a new departure board at the bottom of the escalators.
Does anyone know when this was installed?

The new departure boards were put in a few weeks ago. Has been alot of refurbishment work going on inside the station with new lighting and cctv.

Yeah Camden town Had new Ticket hall and concourse Information Displays put in. New Platform VID's, 15 new Help Points, 70 new camera's covering the entire station, new PA system. And a brand new Supervisors office at Ticket Hall level just to the right of the escalators. So they're not stuck in that pokey little one they had at the bottom of the emergency stairs.

That new stn supers office was originally planned to be a control room, but it never materialised.
