Me neither. Did the survey and not been asked since (except when I used a different computer which hacks into my neighbour's wireless network) It reappears if I return after a few hours, but saying "no" means I can use the website without being constantly bothered by it as Phil seems to report.

Phil - do you have cookies enabled for the TfL and/or survey site? It sounds to me like the survey is looking for a cookie to tell it what to do - if it finds one then it knows you must have been asked and said either yes (you've taken the survey, no action needed) or said no (ask again next visit*). If it finds no cookie (which would be the case if you've denied it permission to store one) it assumes that you have not been asked, so it asks you. This is just supposition but it would seem to fit the facts as presented in this thread.
*It isn't good form though to ask this frequently but that is not a technical issue.

GobLin looks so much better there mack. I really dont understand why the guy who designs the map seems to not care more about the smaller details; things like the Jubilee at Waterloo; aligning the termini on each edge. It doesnt take much effort, takes very little time, and looks a lot better. Is he being strangled by TfL? Or is it just lack of passion. I challenge him to answer.

Love GOBLIN! Waterloo Jubilee also looks great, but at the expense of Green Park and Westminster.
Offtopic: I wonder how the TfL designer is going to fit newly funded ELR branch to Clapham Junction?

Awkwardly? On the topic of the layout around Westminster, its possible to accomodate the jubilee blob by just moving the diagonal to the left. St. James's Park name becomes three lines though, and Green Park becomes two-blob; however thats probably better because the interchange between the picc is long and slow.

To be fair to the official map, it seems the reason for the a lot of the wibbly-wobbliness is to accommodate the zonal boundaries, which that map does not.

Thats why the next step is to rebuild the zones to match this map. It just makes it simplier to edit a non-zonal map on my laptop.
Im not fully happy with Green Park but did it that way to show its not quite an easy interchange as Ive found out recently.
Hmm looking after a few days rest westminsters blob doesn't look right. Thats easy to fix without making St James' Park three lines. Its partly like that for space at Victoria for the Hackney-Chelsea mock up I was going to do at some point.
The idea is this map will form the basis of a future map, ie the 2010, 2011 and 2012 map and one for all TfL Metro lines (part of a rebranding of the map before Crossrail 1 hits).
But thanks for the positive feedback guys, will update when the next verisons done. Hopefully in the next few weeks.
