Pre 'Extended Circle Line' maps on C Stocks

There was also one C Stock 2-car unit in service today with old car line diagrams.

And there were also examples still today of the (Extended Circle Line) car line diagrams which have a 'muddy' yellow along part of the north and south sides - it was suggested these should have been replaced after the first week of the new service, but not quite yet!!

Seems like that link isnt working.

Yeh between Embankment and Euston, it was black on a train I went on. They [b[need[/b] to sort it out.

I'd noticed the 'mucky yellow' Circle Line stripes too. Methinks they had tried to do what they did back in the late 80s/early 90s, whereby they used a 'dusky yellow' colour for the Circle, because plain yellow (as used since then) would be (and was) too indistinct to be viewed clearly.

I think perhaps the colour mixing didn't occur properly.

Another telltale sign that the yellow colour wasn't being applied properly or consistently was that, on more than two diagrams I saw, the 'Central' line interchange lozenges on the left-hand half of the diagram were orange (like for the Overground) instead of the proper red, yet the same lozenges at the right-hand side WERE in the proper colour.

Obviously the printers LUL use have got so used to the lazy 4-colour (CMYK) printing process they've forgotten how to do spot colour properly.

It's almost as if I never posted. They will sort it out, but at what cost would the average customer choose. Huge gaps while we take more trains out and tart them up, or live with the odd inaccuracy for a week or two. None are unreadable, and I think you should grant our customers a little more credit when it comes to working out what colour something should be or how central a word should look.

This diagram is "politically" correct: it omits the fact that between Paddington(s) and Edgware road, there is a section where the two tracks are common to both the itineraries...
