The best way to use them is to have a street map with the tube stations indicated – find which one you need to get to then pull out a tube map and plot the best route there from where you are. Boom, simple. Otherwise just use Google Maps…

Sorry, I think you might indeed be the only one… šŸ™‚

The London Transport Tube map is all about connectivity within the system and not about how to reach addresses above ground. A circuit diagram does just the same thing. And, as for forgetting the name of the station next to your lodgings, how silly of you…you should always take your suitcase with you wherever you go in London…

I must be the only person on earth who thinks these diagrams of transport systems are pretty close to useless. Everyone gushes about the wonderful design properties evinced by the alleged “maps.” It’s interesting.

So, I’m wandering around a big city, and all of a sudden realize I’m hungry and want to run back to my B&B to dress for dinner. Except that I don’t really know exactly where I am. And have forgotten the name of the metro/tube/subway station that’s near my lodgings. Whoa!

I see street signs: I’m at the intersection of Who Boulevard and Whatsis street. I pull out the metro/tube/subway “map.” Ummm…

Total Epic Fail. Am I the only one?
