    very clear analysis. it's easy to imagine the drip drip of requirements from different bits of tfl that have resulted in things like zones and overground railways being added, and i suppose in many ways they've done as good a job of incorporating the requirements as they could.

    love the idea of different editions of the map being produced - leaving the classic as an option.

    (and apropos of yesterday's post here's a dragon castle related link http://www.vimeo.com/443511)

    Thanks Miles - to me it smells like an IA with too much time on their hands!!

    The video is great but I think it needs a soundtrack :)

    I liked the black font for the station names much more. I agree that the addition of the wheelchair symbols clutters it further. Seems like attempts to be PC and information overkill are indeed ruining what was once a piece of art.
