Evolution of the Underground map from the Metropolitan Railway to the Elizabeth line

[@srfurley]

Interesting that if you want o go from Paddington to Farringdon you can take the oldest or the newest. Elizabeth Line also goes from Paddington to Whitechapel, as did the Post Office Railway.

[@hanskendrickpradil3898]

What about the H&C, It goes Paddington to Whitechapel as well

[@Midgley86]

On the Metropolitan line, you are missing North Harrow and Northwood Hills. And left Pinner as Pinner and Hatch End. Only noticed as I’m a Met driver 😅

[@princessdaisy6]

so is queensbury

[@princessdaisy6]

and brent cross

[@princessdaisy6]

northwick park and preston road

[@oliverlovestrains]

and uxbridge *vine street*!

[@Midgley86]

@@princessdaisy6 wow didn’t spot that

[@davidstone408]

Amazing to watch - definitely the museum needs this on a big screen on something

[@railingaroundeurope]

They already have - impressed to see it's been updated for the Elizabeth line on Day 1!

[@mysteryguy5177]

​@@railingaroundeurope It was probably made beforehand with the intention of it being released for the Elizabeth line

[@highpath4776]

The North London Line was on the London Underground Map on and off in the 1980s/1990s, and Thameslink has appeared at different times and sections, along with the northen city line segment even with the BR logo on it (but not from memory extended beyond Finsbury Park)

[@wooble73]

Welcome Elizabeth line!! 👍🥳

[@johnburns5424]

And Uxbridge Met Line was never called Vine Street. That was the GWR extension from West Drayton which closed in early 1960s.

[@andrewnelson4057]

You've missed off the 1883-85 extension of District Line (District Railway) services to WINDSOR.

[@Lisbonized]

And to Southend?

[@hanstheexplorer]

@@Lisbonized Yes, it would be a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way.

[@sheriemareneo1619]

Its not shown in this digram.

[@LuperSoop69]

​@@sheriemareneo1619even though they shown an arrow for met to go Aylesbury/Brill/Verney Junction Could easily show one for Windsor & Shoeburyness services

[@error-null]

Awesome video! Although please rename it something like "Evolution of the London Tube 1863-2022", the current title isn't very appealing :(

[@dentilagjana9030]

Good thing you added crossrail 1

[@Lisbonized]

I’ve been working on one of these for a while now using Douglas Rose’s map. Might as well scrap the project now! ☹️. There’s an error at the very beginning on this one. Hammersmith branch was opened before the Addison Road one. It’s impossible to get everything right due to lost records etc.

[@highpath4776]

Sometimes the maps of the time were issued in optimism rather than reality.

[@bostonbenben]

Awesome music. Who did it?

[@s1d3i]

elizabeth line eastbound splitup is at whitechapel ad also the Liverpool st to stratford is a breakup from whitechapel as well

[@s1d3i]

@@Bow-k2o it was opened on 17 july 2022 and it says 2 years ago, it might have been a diagram mistake besides they can just create their "split up" at liverpool and draw the line after the stop

[@princessdaisy6]

queensbury?

[@Nosregni]

You didn’t include the trams!

[@sheriemareneo1619]

Yes!!!!

[@ET-hm8do]

There are loads of errors in the map. On the Central line, it still says Holborn is called "Holborn (Kingsway)," and Chancery Lane is still called "Chancery Lane (Grays Inn)." On the District line, you forgot Stamford Brook. On the H&C line, it says that Goldhawk Road, Shepherd's Bush Market, Great Portland Street, and Aldgate East is only served by the line itself, when really the stations are also serves by the Circle, the Met, and the District lines. On the Jubilee line, you forgot Queensbury. On the Met line, you forgot Preston Road, Northwick Park, North Harrow, and Northwood Hills. And Pinner is still called "Pinner & Hatch End", Chalfont & Latimer is still called "Chalfont Road", and Uxbridge was never called "Uxbridge Vine Street." It was a GWR extension that went up from West Drayton to Uxbridge Vine Street station, which is now closed. On the Northern line, you forgot Brent Cross. On the Picadilly line, Oakwood is still called "Enfield West (Oakwood)," and the line also has a connection to Turnham Green on the District line. At Acton Town, there is no connector blob, and it's just there as a name. On the London Overground, Bushey is still called "Bushey & Oxhey", and it appears that you put "Loughborough Junction" on the South London line, but it's on Thameslink, not on the Overground, and you forgot Shepherd's Bush on the Overground. Some stations do appear to have no tick, like South Ealing on the Piccadilly line, or Stratford High Street on the DLR. Woolwich Arsenal on the DLR and Woolwich on the Elizabeth line seem to be further apart than they actually are, cause you can just walk 5 minutes between those 2 stations. You also forgot that some stations now have National Rail. Stations like Peckham Rye, Hayes & Harlington, Watford Junction, etc have connector blobs to show that they have National Rail, but some stations like Slough, Balham, Brixton, Stratford International, etc don't. Please tell me if you spotted more errors or if you think I found all the errors.

[@Oofhixd]

Bushey is still bushey and oxhey

[@Oofhixd]

No connected blob at Acton Town and Loughborough junction is not in the overground

[@Oofhixd]

South Ealing has no tick it’s just there as a name

[@Oofhixd]

Also Shepherd’s Bush on the overground is missing and some overground stations like Denmark hill, Peckham rye and queens rd Peckham all have blobs to show they connect bc of NR but some other NR stops don’t have blobs like Balham, Vauxhall and Kentish Town

[@killeranime3591]

Elizabeth Line isn’t connected to Heathrow Terminal 5 either

[@GustavSvard]

Trams! Do the trams next!

[@sheriemareneo1619]

Yes

[@The_Oracle]

Hang on the jubilee line used to run to charring cross.

[@louisabrahams3514]

when did uxbridge vine street shutdown and move to uxbridge station?

[@L1am4728]

funny how they dont add metropolitan line and bakerloo line to go to stanmore and then close it

[@DolbaebusX]

Qeensbury has left the chat

[@Bow-k2o]

Brent Cross has left the chat

[@Daytona2]

It's interesting to see that they were still constructing lines in world wars 1&2. Also during the depressions of 1921 and 1930 - tho perhaps they were government funded infrastructure employment schemes, which is a sensible strategy ?

[@highpath4776]

The 1920s / 1930s projects certainly made use of Govt incentives

[@hanstheexplorer]

There wasn't even a tube map until around 1900! TfL Rail to Heathrow T5: am I a joke to you?

[@AgentSquash]

Thameslink is on the tube map in 2022, is it not?

[@joshuahalla.k.a.controlla6333]

Wow.

[@davidstevens.7875]

You forgot bont street on the Elizabeth line

[@David_aww_seriously]

Bond Street didn't open on the Elizabeth Line until 2023

[@thei-mazing9965]

45° angles yay

[@David_aww_seriously]

By the way the metropolitan went to richmond in the 1870s

[@davidstevens.7875]

You forgot riverside

[@PurushaDesa]

Uxbridge should just be _Uxbridge_ though, right?

[@dazpoz]

You’ve left out Queensbury!

[@MannyAntipov]

There's a considerable amount of errors in the map - there has been a lot of name-changing over the years to each tube station, I can only see it for a handful of them but not all of them have been covered (e.g. Croxley Green when opened, later Croxley). Pinner seems to be non-existant. The Metropolitan Stanmore branch is at an awkward angle. Disgraceful.

[@yorkshireball_animations]

Pinner & Hatch End is clearly there.

[@tashko1225]

And barking riverside have 42 step or 52 step ie be London overground sillu

[@David_aww_seriously]

I dont really want the overground on this map i want east london line back
