Ruislip Station on the Met/Picadilly lines has step-free access on the central london bound platform, with an awkward bridge over on to the Uxbridge bound platform...should this not be represented on the new map by a half-wheelchair symbol?
Pedantic Doug.

It being "The Year of the Bus" ...would it not be great if some special bus maps were published? Just a thought...

My favourite design is the one on the May 2010 Map.
Is there a pictorial history of the very modern maps anywhere? I can only find older ones.

... never mind. Found it in DG's post.

Dear experts and anoraks,
The one on my bedroom wall says "Version A May 2013 Fit to 1995 and 1996 stock" and "Part number 28125/200". Does anybody want to give me lots of money for it? The self-adhesive backing is unused because I stuck it up with Blu Tack instead.

"different on weekdays and weekends".
TMCA management has apparently been infiltrated by a American person, as any British speaker would have written "different on weekdays and at weekends" or "varying between weekdays and weekends" or even "different at weekends".

But the artistic merit is not an exact figure, how should someone predict it? :)
Seriously though, this cover is repulsive to me, somehow I feel sick looking at it...

May 2014?
Seems so very yesterday.
when you can have the November 2015 tube map.

Dear TMCA,
how do I prevent relatives trying to touch and fondle my tube maps. I have them neatly arranged in my collector's album but they insist on removing them to 'use'. My tube maps are not for using. What can I do?

We need page 4, as the suspense of Rachel's response is killing me!

There are subtle changes to the layout of the central part of the new map. The first image below shows the May 2014 map on top of the Dec 2013 map. Some lines, some stations and some station names have moved:

The second image shows just the differences (although in false colour):

These kinds of small changes can be spotted by overlaying the PDF maps from various dates. Hours of amusement.

It's interesting to see how the maps progress. I can never understand the connections at Paddington. It doesn't seem to maker any sense to encourage people to change from the H&C to the Bakerloo or Praed St stations.

Doug,
There are 13 stations with 'one direction only' step-free access, they all need half blobs!
Can you name them all though? (Answers upside on the inside back cover of TMCA)

@ Geofftech, I think Epping deserves a quarter blob, eastbound trains will sometimes terminate at the platform not adjacent to the main exit, so it's occasionally, and unpredictably, not stepfree eastbound.

@amber Ah, but that platform at Epping does have a (usually locked) gate providing stepfree access to a back street. So you have to summon staff (via a helppoint or otherwise) to get out. So annoying and not ideal, but still, techically, stepfree...
I presume a lot of the "half-step-free" stations are 19th century stations with a main building (and the main, level, entrance) on one platform, and bridge access to the second. - Largely on the outer stretches of the Central Line (in Essex), Met Line, and Northern Line (High Barnet Branch)...
