Rush Hour Map of the London Underground

@andrehead@leashless Thanks for sharing this link. If adjusted per capacity Elizabeth will be +50% thicker (and maybe Thameslink and overground), ie equivalent to ~30 trains per hour. Northern line -20%. Victoria and Central about the same
@JonjayNeedham1@BBCLondonNews The "original one" (ie official map) is based on the design by Paul Garbut of 1960s, significantly altered (for worse) by Tim Demutt in 1988. Afterwards, new lines have been added on the top of it making the "original" map very messy and hard to read
Check out this fantastic Rush Hour Tube Map by @im__arcangelo, who says "The map is based on frequency of services at peak times on different lines and sections of lines. It provides a very clear impression of the entire network
