They are updated often, on some on the S stock it still mentions the lift closure at Hammersmith that happened in 2013.

Not strictly about the S7 stock, but to save starting a new thread... I've noticed new in-car line diagrams appearing in D Stock, showing the new 'Zone 2/3' in East London. Is it actually worth the cost/effort to update these, since they only have a few months left in service? I'm not sure how much difference it will make to people using these stations? I've yet to see any appear in S-Stock yet... On the topic of in car diagrams in general, how often are they likely to be updated? What are the costs involved? I'm surprised there's been no investment into digitising these displays. I would think in the long term, it would be cost-beneficial to do so...? Indeed I was surprised to see D Stock being given fresh diagrams whereas S7's have VERY outdated maps. for example some S7 maps still do not show Paddington Suburban as step free, and have references to Hammersmith D&P not being step free until December 2013! Also the "Central London Tube Map" in the S7's still show TCR as being closed to central line trains, and some are so old they have a little logo about the 150th anniversary etc from 2013! Edit: Damn was beaten by by a few minutes |

new line diagrams are appearing on D and S7 Stock. The main reason being the re-zone of West Ham station to 2/3; also removal of sticker update showing London Overground arriving at Upminster; and now Tramlink shown as 'Trams' at Wimbledon.   |

Noticed a stickered S stock diagram yesterday which appeared to have been designed for something else. The sticker covered Liverpool Street and Aldgate. Both the pink and yellow lines were much narrower than the lines on the rest of the diagram. And "Aldgate" was printed to the left of the line (inside the Circle) whereas on the underlying diagram it was printed on the other side of the line, in a bigger typeface, and was not covered by the sticker. Was it designed for something else, and if so what?

The S7s have two different sizes of line diagrams inside them, and it's entirely possible that the stickers were destined for the 'other' diagrams. I'll keep an eye out. The S7s are now overdue new line maps anyway denoting the new 'Zone 2/3' area for Bromley-by-Bow and West Ham. These have appeared (bizarrely!) on the D stock (and the 92/96TS), but not yet the S... |

They have started to appear on the S, both District and H&C, but only on a few units and not in great numbers |

A very good resource, thanks for spotting and linking. No doubt theres enough poor material there for somebody like Max Roberts to write a good book on when and when not to follow self imposed 'rules', however I note with some intrigue that the waterloo and city line has more versions drawn than that of the Piccadilly! As an example of the lack of care, the northern line junction to the right of Camden Town; it seemingly took six years to notice it was drawn unevenly, and correct. For a draughtsman that wouldn't have got through to start with. |
