Hello Ed.  That's one great little nugget of info.  I'm trying to write
an accessible exploration game that involves the whole of the London
tube network.  Directions from stations need to be described in terms of
how they look on the tube map and I can't remember all of it despite
having worked in London for years when I could see.

The only line I can remember in detail is the Northern Line.

Hi Mike,

I can’t help with a source for a tactile tube map, but the west bound Jubilee 
Line becomes north bound at Green Park.

Cheers,

Ed

Hello list,

Does anybody do a tactile version of the classic map of the London tube
network?

I am most interested in the actual physical layout of the map, although
it doesn't bear much resemblance to the true geographical twists and
turns of the lines.  For example, at which station does the west-bound
jubilee line switch from horizontal to diagonally up towards the north-west.

Mike
