Branch lines can be done with double indentation. Likewise closed sections. The Ongar thing is a minor point, that can be labelled. A diagram with just the names would allow accompanying text to be worked on, so that's probably best. -- Tarquin


What i acutally meant about branch lines was it does not show which was it branches off also. Some parts ar very hard to do i mean the eastern bracnh of the central lines breaks off goes on its own route and connects again laster on. -fonzy

If you did the distric line or metropolitan9which would conatain (east london and hamersmith and city too). IT WOULD BE A COMPLETE MESS.

Er, I have a feeling this is working from one of those "The London Underground: A Diagrammatic History" maps by Douglas Rose, for all the dates and so forth. Is that right? 'Cos if so, this may be copyright material. Then again, all the information he presents is presumably from the public domain, so maybe it's only the exact presentation he has copyright on. Can one of the copyright experts enlighten us? --Bth


The design with ticks for stations is the work of Harry Beck. I'm not sure if design schemes are copyright, but they might be and I'd rather err on the side of caution It's also more Wiki-like to give a text list that anyone can add information to. The District line just has many beanches -- some of these operate independently, eg the Edgware Road - Wimbledon line. Likewise the Metropolitan: it's now only Aldgate - "lots of branches in the back of beyond". Ham&City is seperate, so is EastLon. -- Tarquin


Yes i am getting the dates and old naems from ther. But i am trying to make it as different as possible. Douglas Ross did the whole underground map together. etc

It would be preferable to either have a horizontal diagram or to stick the diagram down the side of the page. Currently there's way too much wasted space. -- Nairobiny

I WAS TRYING TO GET OUT OF TAHT BECUASE IT LOOKS TO FAMILIAR. COPYRIGHT ETC. -fonzy

Tarquin what i was saying about east london metropolitain is that orginally the east london line as part of metropolitain so it would come under the same map. Also the district has had 10 different branches (in a sence) - fonzy

I suppose it would be possible to just forget branches and give a list of all stations. - fonzy
