This is a catalogue of official maps of the underground railway system of
London, which were produced as quad royal posters for affixing to station
walls.
This list is maintained by Peter Lloyd in London, England. Please e-mail
any comments, corrections, or additions to me at 'ursa at easynet.co.uk'
(replacing 'at' with '@')..
This is a private web site, and I have no connection with the bodies
responsible for rapid transit in London.
(See www.thetube.com and
www.londontransport.com for
the official sites for the Tube and the London Transport Museum,
respectively.)
There is no official list of these maps, as far as I know. Anne Letch's
booklet does not cover them, and I don't think Burwood and Brady's booklet
does either. Ken Garland's richly illustrated book has a few, but does not
aim to be comprehensive. Where possible, I have based the information on my
own collection, but I have acknowledged other sources where I have used
them. (The last column of the map tables indicates the source of
information: P = my private collection, L = London Transport Museum,

2. Overground & underground maps
In 1973, T.P. Demuth designe a map of both the underground and overground
railways of London and the surrounding commuter belt. This was generally
referred to as the "London Connections" map in both the fold-up
pocket map and the station poster map.

Smaller than quad royal. Has "RS 51 C" after the date; and "© British Railways Board CAS /BS-47/89" at the bottom of the key
box. Maybe the "BS" is Bernard Slatter? Similar to Demuth's
geometric design, but: Colour-coded overground lines; black-and-white
differentiated underground lines; station symbols are blobs. |
