that's a shame about the copyright stuff. I thought we might be OK with TfL if it was a homage to the underground and particularly the map... especially as noone's going to make a profit from it... I also assumed that the title would be the intellectual property of the Clash... not that I asked Paul Weller either...
Anyway, I'd just done some work on the XML an' all... maybe it was a waste of time... I only caught up with the recent discussion when I came to add the latest pic:-

it'd probably need the station circles to get even bigger, and a couple of numbers need to be tweaked.
I wonder if I'd get anywhere by phoning TfL up? (thanks Matt!) Declare our love of the map and that this could only be good publicity, or something...

Unfortunately, copyrights issuses stepped in, and most likely this map will not be made.

I've just been talking to the intellectual property guy at Transport for London. He's prepared to reconsider his decision to not allow the map to be used, though there may need to be some ammendments...
He asked me to email him with all the details. So we may be back on... who knows...

I'm assuming you can only attack one "Stop" on the "Tracks". And between Intersections...

This map is Ace... When I heard of it I thought the whole map would be real hard to do - good idea to only go with the centre.

fluffybunnykins....WOW!!!. My compliments on such a great concept, and I just happen to love trains. Where's Thomas!! LOL :D
Seriously I pray that the copyright issue will be solved to everyone's satisfaction so we can all benefit from this beauty. Incidentally even though I'm from Cairns, I've been on the the tubes and they are great.
I had also been thinking of doing one on the sydney system.
Chin up!!
