Most lines are a slightly different colour

Are minor colour changes like this usual? Have the colours of lines on the tube map been similarly tweaked before?

In the digital era, probably it's happened before but I haven't gone through and checked. I might do so next time I'm bored!

Does anyone have a copy of the map with the Hainault loop in blue downloaded? If so I would love a copy please.

It's available on the Internet Archive: web.archive.org/web/20240416215212/https://content.tfl.gov.uk/standard-tube-map.pdf

Thanks Chris

I note that the station ticks remained the correct colour!

Is this the first official LU map to show a wrong line colour? At least it was not a printed version that cannot be corrected overnight!

[Chris M]

It's the only digital one I can recall seeing, and I've seen at least the majority of digital versions (see www.sucs.org/~cmckenna/maps/tube/ ). However if there have been previous similar mistakes that were quickly resolved it's not guaranteed that they will have been preserved somewhere I have found.

That could be an unobtrusive way to allow a line colour to be used twice.

IMHO that map version itself was not a mistake; as posted upthread there is a perfectly plausible reason to how it could come about.

The mistake was publishing that version.

I just noticed that the Victoria Line is linked with the Charing Cross branch of the Northern Line at Euston, when it provides cross-platform interchange with the Bank branch. Euston Square is shown as a short walk from the mainline terminus, when it was an out-of-station interchange with Warren Street.

[Chris M]

Euston Square has been shown as a short walk to the mainline blob at Euston since walk lines were introduced in May 2018, the OSI with Warren Street has never been shown on the map.

The layout of the blobs at Euston (LU) has not changed since July 2022.

I've just seen that there is a map dated June 2024 on the TfL website. Other than updating the dates and version numbers there has been exactly 1 change since the April map: Colindale station is now shown as closed until December.

The dagger for Bermondsey is still present with the associated explanation still advising that there is no step-free access until June 2024, despite the TfL website now says that the lift works are expected to last until late August.

Does anyone know if the December 2023 Quad Royal Poster map has more than 1 version of the advertisement panel at the bottom of the map?

Does it have 2 versions like the pocket map? Can someone post pictures?

[Chris M]

There is yet another new version of the digital map, this one dated July and this time the only change other than the dates and version number is to change the check before you travel entry about Bermondsey:
June 2024: "No step-free access from Monday 4 December 2023 until June 2024"
July 2024: "No step-free access until late August 2024"

There are two versions:

The paper edition of the new tube map, dated September 2024, has been released (districtdavesforum.co.uk/post/530785/thread), with copies at (at least) Baker Street and Gants Hill. I've not got a copy but from the photos I've seen there are no immediately obvious major changes other than the new Overground line names and colours. The digital map hasn't been updated yet so you'll have to wait for my usual detailed comparison.
