Had the strike gone ahead or if another does go ahead, people from the University of Sunderland have created a walking map (shame about the quality)

Didn't someone produce a walking times map some years ago?

The methodology might work on Sunderland's metro network, but its University's graduates haven't really grasped the complexity of the Tube. According to their map it takes over 40 minutes to walk from Lancaster Gate to Paddington.

I think I prefer Phyllis Pearsall's version.

Either that or my screen's gamma settings have gone a bit awry for just that page!

A very curious version of the map.
