Dunno if any of you have noticed but a passenger pointed out to me yesterday that Westminster doesn't show any interchange with the Jubilee line on certain station maps  . Now I was at Earls Court Eb and had a good look, and yea its true there is no indication of interchange at Westminster with the Jubilee |

Are you talking about the bespoke line diagrams you see at tube stations? I suppose it shows that no matter how much effort you make, there will always be notices and signs that forget to be updated, in response to some change.
I've seen a line diagram at a station which shows the Picc line going as far as Hounslow West only - that must not have been updated for a decade!

IIRC the Earl's Court Picc diagram still shows the Aldwych branch as well!

Half the DLR maps show the Canning Town - King George V as 'under construction'.

I remember seeing a map somewhere on the Bakerloo Line between Paddington and Oxford Circus (probably either Marylebone or Regents Park) that showed the Jubillee as still going to CX - the extension wasn't even shown as under construction. I didn't get chance to look for Heathrow and/or Aldwych

I think a tube map on the bedroom wall wold instigate divorce proceedings ;D. When I was a teeenager, I drew my own map of the tube on a sheet of A2 paper. I also had a District / Circle line diagram along one wall  |

Seen a few victoria line trains going about their business with maps claiming the Jubilee still runs to Charing X and there is an extension under construction! Got a photo, though the quality is poor... if you REALLY want to see it that bad I could post it  |

There are quite a lot of incorrect / out of date signs around. Several District line diagrams at Earl's Court show Turnham Green as restricted service. This should, of course, appear only on piccadilly diagrams!
Stations signs at Earl's Court are pretty rubbish generally, despite all the work they've done. If you come in via the Warwick Road entrance, there's no signs for the lifts to the District line at all! You only see them after you've struggled down the stairs with your suitcase/pushchair/crutches.

There are still the lightbox diplay signs at upton park, that are still in use, that say "Metropolitan Line" rather than H&C. All that money spent on rebranding clearly went tits up then didn't it?

Half the DLR maps show the Canning Town - King George V as 'under construction'. Some of them are a little more ambitious.  |
