New Line Diagram on A-Stock

Perhaps the previous diagrams were damaged or stolen (yes I've seen it done) and there was no other option.

every s stock map has to be changed EVERY time the smallest detail is changed. close to 200 maps per train, even worse than a A stock.

map overkill.

I'd volunteer to change them if I get to keep a copy myself - or two - plus some food - and drink - and a cab ride... too much?

What with the fast service shown as 'peak hours only'? ;D

Was it a prototype trial of the new line map format by any means?

All of our maps are updated regularly - be it with the use of stickers or full re-issues. As I hinted at earlier, the issue here is not about how long a map will last, but about conveying up-to-date and accurate information to our customers. It would be negligent of us to simply leave old/incorrect information on display on purpose.

I'm sure every supermarket in the land changes its huge "sale" posters on a weekly basis without much comment from anyone.

I don't think it is considered a "problem." The maps have worked sufficiently for how many years? It's only during the current upgrade project that we'll see an increase in changes to the maps. There will come a time where the network may reach a point where nothing more can be done, and the maps will no longer need changing.

Digitised maps would of course be a wonderful advance in customer information, and I'm sure each and every customer will appreciate the huge hike in fares to pay for such an upgrade - and of course the subsequent technical support for what will no doubt be numerous upgrades and revisions to the software. And how much more hard-wearing are digital displays compared to a simple sticker?

NYC has proven that it works.

And the first train which is cancelled, because the adverts/maps don't work...

And if you think that idea is also silly, you're not sitting where I sit.

Bakerloo line?

W&C would have had a DLR interchange added at Bank in '91.

Ignoring zones or tinkering to show fast lines, the Met was pretty stable between when Moor Park became Met only and Chesham got an all day through service...

Actually, when did it regain an all day service through to the city... it was all around the same time as the H&C blushed and BR stopped calling at Moor Park?

The East London Line didn't have its own map. On the A60/62 stock it was at the end of all the mainline maps. On the CO/CP stock it had the Hammersmith and City, Circle and East London Lines, with bits of the District one.

*Ahem*

That's a very recent map. The one(s) which Metman refers to were when the ELL was simply an "extension" of the Met, and was not in any way "orange." Shoreditch was a "limited service" and not a "bus service."

We're talking block capitals, squared edges, and none of this lower-case smoothed edges (and orange colour) stuff.

EDIT: This link won't last forever, but here is one such example for sale (wish I had one, give the price they're charging ) - and Shoreditch is actually very much still part of the regular service!

As far as I know (and can recall from my early days on the job) yes, until it changed to a pink background.
