I was about to open my norfansarf on this topic and then it all changed. The new tube maps for London have been streamlined for content and readability. Overall, this is a good thing and has decluttered the map considerably.
The two strangest omissions though, were the River Thames and the Zones.
I gather that Mayor Boris (Chairman of TfL) has belatedly twittered to ask for the return of the wiggly blue stripe to help delineate norf and sarf of the river. I muse that the potential continued omission of the Zones will be either a way to generate revenue from fines or a Good Excuse usable by tourists who stray out of Zone 1.
My forecast is that both the River and the Zones will return.
Next question, how much spent on the revision? I bet I know where to find out.
Meantime, londonist have an even simpler version for tourists.
