Fell in love with the tube map as a youngster in London - love the thrill of designing rail diagrams. https://projectmapping.co.uk

Latest Singapore MRT & LRT map incorporating updates suggests by respondents. As TransitMaps says: "The repeating loop motif is deftly executed and provides the 'visual hook' a good transit map needs: the design element that ties the whole thing together as a pleasing whole."

It’s just rubbish, needs a completely new design (either of Max Roberts or Cam Booth would do). Kings Cross St Pancras wrong too as the Thameslink platforms are St Pancras only. Our great capital city is let down by this rubbish cartography.
#transitmap connoisseurs! Here's an oddity: appears as if Liverpool Street is a stop on the Northern Line (which it isn't). Wonder if 'white-line connector' perhaps with black lines greyed-out a bit may help (between Northern & Liz Line station markers)? Spotted by motortownman on skyscraper city.

Not very impressed by Gareth’s explanation that it didn’t matter that the GWR electrification was too large (commentators quipped you could tie container ships to it) because the steel was a tiny part of the total cost. It was another OLE engineering mistake like headspans on the east coast.
@garethdennis.bsky.social eloquently, effortlessly and energetically explains how to fix the railways in an illuminating and forthright podcast. Listen live on VectisRadio tonight from 18:00, (www.vectisradio.com 104.6FM) or afterwards (minus music etc) here: www.vectisradio.com/podcast/catc...

Two terrible logos / symbols. What happened to good design in the railways ?

Tube & Rail map along side a Tube map. Which one would you use, never mind you’d have to stoop to see High Barnet.

Look at the detail in this London Rail map (unknown designer on Reddit), very interesting indeed. Look at the Sutton loop, lovely. (Many similarities with my Project Mapping design however...)

I got all excited when Euston Films asked if they could use my map in Nightsleeper, but was slightly disappointed in its minimal appearance!

What’s with all the ‘Towards…’ on London Transport wayfinding, what’s wrong with ‘To’?
(Never mind two of those bifurcations going the wrong way!)

Thought I'd put this up, designed a while ago, done in response to WMTs map. And for Christmas, Bluesky users! Let there be more of us. (Surprised BlueSky doesn't have a mid word capital.) Merry Christmas!
