The January 2018 Tube Map

- Опубликовано: 7 янв 2018
- The new tube map is out, for the beginning of the year - 2018, and it's time to go and track down a copy, and then go and try out one of the new connections shown on it between Archway and Upper Holloway.
The abandoned tube station video (which isn't ) where he goes to Tufnell Park is here: • Exploring an abandoned...
A few years later, he did another one, this time starting outside Tufnell Park but all the inside shots are from Mornington Crescent: • URBAN EXPLORING | ABAN...

I just don't understand why I keep watching this guy! Very odd.. but I'll be back again for the next one! Keep it up sir!
Cuz Geoff is awesome
1:47 110 steps!!!! That's equivalent to a 15 story building!
1:54 I KNEW HE WOULD PUT IT IN
Me and my Dad went to London for a Tube Tour on Sunday.
Got to Canary Wharf, and was amazed!
Got to Victoria, Got lost!
Got to London Bridge, really unimpressed by the new work.
Got on the Emirates Air Line, Loving the view!
Got to Kings Cross, Love the tunnel of light!
Haha don’t go up to London often, and as I spent the whole day on the tube; was rather surprised not to see you! Haha.
Surely you can also cross Victoria out!
Assorted Tom I Agree. Geoff, You clearly passed through Victoria Gateline at the beginning of the video, surely you can cross it out.
I'm sure there's many people who have no idea why a video like this one exists but man, one afternoon on the London Underground and it got under my skin. It's a work of brilliance. If I lived in London or even the UK I'd most definitely visit all stations and make a photo and video documentary of it showing similarities, differences, the views outside the exits and entrances, historic facts. It'd be a life's work. It'd be worth my time, at least ;).
In the meantime; Thanks for the London City vibe on my screen.
Happy new year!
Geoff you took the Victoria line from Victoria and then changed a Euston for the Northen line and got down at Tunfell Park
@Transportriangle obviously
ßSàhhhgfffgfrgd3dc1ughcrjh
I visited a grand total of *0* tube stations in 2017
...matching my previous score from 2016
...and 2015
(I don't go to London very often :P)
Me too. We need more tube stations in Texas. Come on, TfL!
Same for me. But I think I visited quite a few other places around here
My brony met ups are in London
I got 0 in 2017 too.
And 2016
But I managed 2 in 2015, Marylebone and Custom House, on my way to London Comic Con.
Can TfL extend their lines to Paris?
Love it Geoff! Here’s for another great year for you
Always love your vidoes Geoff, but the quality and enjoyment of your output at the beginning of 2018 has especially been superb.
so glad i found you.. i stumbled across the unerground videos you did for the Londonist (it took ages to understand you yourself were not the Londonist).. those were (are) fanstastic little gems of London. so glad to be following you here now. all the best to you.
Visited every tube station in 2005 (including Shoreditch and a couple of stations I had to get special access to: Aldwych and Charing Cross jubilee line platforms) when I photographed every facade, roundel and platform on the whole network. Amazing photos.... then one day my 1-year son dropped the hard drive I had stored them all on and I lost everything. Over 3000 digital photos. Would love to do it all again now with a better camera. This is how I came to subscribe to your channel originally because your enthusiasm for this sort of thing is ever stronger than mine. The thing that puts me off now is the price of travel and the cost of buying those bloody photo permits from LUL, which I still argue we shouldn't have to pay for!
No need for a photo permit from TfL. Just ride the trains, with a smartphone .. snap a pic as you pass through each station. easy, done.
I have also been stopped by police photographing facades (namely Holborn). It's a headache. But seriously, I have been following your vids for a few years now and I feel inspired by you and your enthusiasm, plus you also visited all those main line stations which is something I always wanted to do. Respect to you, Geoff. Oh and one last thing, having just seen your Angel Road Station video - that is quite near me (I am in Chingford), so I feel the need to go pay the station a visit now!!!
there are definitely no staff at Angel Road, so you can take as many pictures there as you like!!
I was on Holiday at SoArch (Next to Upper Holloway station) in 2016, It is so nice to see that area again.
I used to use Upper Holloway-Archway as an interchange over 50 years ago! It enabled an amazingly quick journey from Walthamstow to Finchley at a time when travel options were very much fewer than today.
Geoff, another smashing video and thanks for the links to the various maps. They are all stunning. Paul
Nice to see, with every video, the production value increases ever so slightly!
Just when you think it's perfect, it somehow gets better
Another great video Geoff!
I love 'the vibe' on this channel!
Ive noticed they update the tube maps every 6 months!
Geoff, I just discovered your channel, but being a map buff, a public transport fan and an architect, this particular post really hit all three of those things, especially after I checked out the Blue Crow Media website. Their maps are amazing. (Being that I work in Washington, DC I really appreciated their map of Brutalist architecture in DC, especially after the current US administration created an uproar in the architectural community by proposing Federal architectural guidelines that would declare brutalism and other similar styles a "stylistic failure" and something to be actively avoided in designs for federal buildings!) Thanks as well for introducing me to the other maps that have been done of the Underground and that sadly no-longer-published national rail map. Very cool.
I love it Geoff!!! Carry on ...your friends (subscribers) are with you....love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I really love these types of videos please do one every time there is a new tube map from now.
I'm excited to see YOU excited on there being a new Tube Map. It's the little things that gets you every time. 😉
I love maps and these are rare. Thank you, Rob
Honestly didn't know about the Upper Holloway to Archway connection, great video Geoff, cannot wait to see some more amazing videos in 2018
Thanks for the links, will deffo be purchasing the Architectural map!
Once again, great content, the travelling was edited very well!
Superb video as always. Looking forward to more videos.
Watching your videos from New Zealand Always great to watch and look at home
All those walking connections which you were mentioning seem to be included on the 2020 tube map.
They moved the various tube/overground lines a bit and have done quite a neat job - also, out of station
interchanges are marked with black dashed lines instead of usual connectors.
My guess (not living in London) about why they don't show the connection between South Tottenham and Seven Sisters is that it isn't useful, as you can just transfer at Blackhorse Road. Which, if not faster, is certainly easier. Upper Holloway to Archway however is a useful transfer thing. Again, I've only been to London once for a few days and didn't use public transport, I could very well be wrong.
Thank you. I enjoyed seeing Archway and Upper Holloway, somewhere I have not been in 43 years. Oh how it has changed.
Picked up my first one when I saw this, and the night tube map, after seeing your video on old maps!
(and their potential future value!)
Although picked mine up at South Ealing on Saturday.
Awesome video of new Tube map January 2018 version :D
I absolutely love this channel.
The Carto Metro is excellent as is the Architectural design map - didn't know about the LU map though - thanks for the links!
I managed a very poor 32 stations this year, which considering I don't live in London I suppose isn't bad. Bagged a few new Labyrinths on the way too :)
Award wanted - I visited every single Tube station and it only took me all of my 39 years. Crown it. 🤴
nativenewlondoner Well done, bravo from USA!
I was in London last week trying to find the New Tube Map unfortunately I got one from last year but now I know thanks to you Geoff is to go to Tufnell Park for the new map
Thank you for all the links!
Thanks for thoes maps geoff, i actually work on LU stations and they will be helpful with customers, so i guess you could say you helped with the running of the Underground :)
Warm welcome Geoff. Sadly I do not have a privilege of having enough time to do all tube stations in one year so I will do it in 5 years... But I don't want just to see stations. I want to find an interesting European restaurant, independent coffee shops, local pubs and walks around each station. I start preparing to project last year and did some experiments and I am planning to do this properly from this year and write a blog about it:). According to my little app. I saw 35 stations and passed 95 stations last year. Cheers and thanks for awesome and inspiring videos about London and transport :).
Im 14 and All my life have bern traveling to all the stations in The UK, National Rail, Overground, Tube, DLR, all Tramways, Heritage, Tyne and Wear. All of them. And My challenge still brings many years of experience. Plus every day I go out I only take around 160 Video's/Pictures.
RailwayProductions 2210 that's a lot of videos a day
s125ish and a lot of capture cards a year.
Had no idea there was a tunnel face at North Greenwich pointing towards Thamesmead! That LU track boundaries map is brilliant.
Gospel Oak - Barking reopened today (15th Jan), though still with the diesels at present. Tufnell Park is very quiet off-peak, though it didn't stop much protesting against the station being closed for several months whilst the lift replacement work took place.
Ha ha thanks for linking that guys "abandoned" tube station videos, gave me such a laugh!!
merry 2018mas to u too
Lovely edits with the music 👍keep it up, great video.
Hi Geoff totally agree about the old National Rail (ex BR) map being the best. Good news is that GWR still do a paper network map with the National Rail map on the back. Worth looking out for.
Great video as always Geoff. Also, really like the music.
Geoff, we need a multi-layered (one mode per layer) UK transport map app that allows one to zoom in (in 3D) from the whole country displayed on a phone screen to an area of about 50 metres by 50 metres displayed on a screen (at this scale, buildings and street infrastructure can be shown). 3D is necessary so we can see the relationship of tube lines, platforms and passageways to street level and various building levels and hills and valleys in the landscape. The security services will freak-out as they see that level of spacial relationship info as a security nightmare. However, on the bigger picture, the information just changes what is considered a security hazard and allows the authorities to better identify hazards. The information allows people to reduce travel time and use the network more efficiently - reducing road and rail congestion. On an app it is easy to give live updates of congested points people should avoid at any moment and show patterns of congestion.
The biggest advantage of a geographically accurate map app is that it reveals areas of under and over transport service for a metropolitan area and nation when population data is associated with it. Once revealed, transport services can be adjusted, or more human activity permitted.
To efficiently serve a metropolitan area, or a nation, we want to see a strong grid structure (adjusted for environment and demographics) for the various land transport modes. The paper/PDF tube map, for all its utility, hides areas of under and over service. Central London's large Network Rail terminal stations are major points of inefficiency that have high infrastructure cost. It is far better to link up all the terminal stations such that routes cross cities to at least their fringe. Terminal points in a transport network should be at the fringe, or outside, a city. This would likely mean that the large terminal stations get 4 to 6 underground platforms as part of underground link ups. It should result in a significant reduction in the use of terminal stations and the tube system. The former terminal stations could convert space to have a larger retail/other presence. These stations would also be good train-bike interchanges. London being a large city, it would benefit from greater use of electrically assisted bikes. However, the UK weather is often not conducive to riding bikes in work clothes - so weatherproof modes of transport need to meet daily capacity requirements.
We all have a daily travel budget measured in money and time. London requires a lot of expensive infrastructure to meet budgets. Fortunately, the internet and road, rail and air links, permit the whole of the island of Great Britain to act as a single metropolitan area. The motorways on the island from a strong grid, but the railways form a weak grid and have low relative patronage. The other big island in the British Isles, Ireland, needs a strong grid of motorways and railways - it is particularly in need of a motorway and railway ring around the edge of the island, and improved road/rail links between Dublin and Galway to form a figure 8 of motorway and railways.
Blackpool-York down to Weymouth-Hastings is an area roughly 360 km by 240 km that can be described as a medium density metropolitan area with about 50 million people. Economically, it needs to be treated as such.
Watching from rural Gambia - trying to stay connected! Keep up the great videos!
And I passed through Euston and Waterloo for the last time for about the next month yesterday, and didn’t pick up a tube map as I normally would -_-
Excellent video as usual Geoff ;)
The folks in London have got to be in shape from all the star climbing required to ride the tube. I. would be dead from trying to climb that circle stairway! But it would be a fun way of dropping dead! 🤣
I would have waited for the lift !
You do have to be fit. Going up those stairs is the same as climbing an 15 storey building. :-O
Those spiral staircases are for emergency use only. Climbing one of them is equivalent to climbing a 15-storey building. This is true no matter how deep or shallow the station is.
Keep the videos coming Geoff!!
You did Victoria as well 🤗
I still think they should put Overground platforms at Tufnell Park
In December, I decided to go to all tube map stations I hadn't already been to (or passed through). There weren't many of these:
* Northern Line: Colindale, Burnt Oak, Edgware, West Finchley, Woodside Park, Totteridge & Whetstone and High Barnet
* Piccadilly Line Oakwood and Cockfosters
* District Line: Upney, Becontree, Dagenham Heathway, Dagenham East, Elm Park, Hornchurch and Upminster Bridge
* DLR: Beckton
* TFL Rail: Gidea Park and Harold Wood
* Overground: Clapton, St James Street, Walthamstow Central, Wood Street, Highams Park and Chingford
Only the Chingford branch left.

Great video Geoff, I have always loved maps. 2017 Tube Map challenge, 5 visits to London 30 stations visited, including one in zone 4 :) 2018 challenge is looking more promising with two trips to London planned for January.... need to find a new map on my first visit next weekend, leave one for me good people :)
How long did u wait for the Victoria line train no more than 90 secs I bet because the escalators looked quite busy so I guess it was peak
Don't forget you did Victoria too! Also I'm gutted I missed you, I left Archway on Sunday after living there for 4 years
Another great video Geoff! I really appreciate that you go out to cover things like new station connections. Just out of curiosity, is the Walbrook Entrance at Bank station open yet?
Just caught up on this - such an interesting video (but I'm a bit of a maps geek!) - fun fact - although I passed through 269 Tube stations last year (my failed Tube challenge attempt accounting for 267 of those...) my gateline count is the same as yours at 97!
Music thing😂 Love your videos Geoff!
Carto Metro has a number of other cities on his site - like Toronto, where the streetcar network is as complex as the subway.
What’s happening to the “All The Stations” national rail map you tweeted about last year?
Didn't video it, but went through the gate lines at all 270 by Semi Alphabetical order. So for example I didn't count Brixton or any other B's until I had passed through every station starting with an A. Weekends only, so took quite a few weeks. I also had to wait until Lancaster Gate reopened before I could move onto the M's.
So are there only those two differences on the map? Or are there more?
I think I visited twenty or so tube stations last year. Too bad it's not on my plans visit London this year.. Still, I want that updated map and oyster card holder!
Cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹
when I was visiting London a couple of years ago I tried to change at Wanstead Park in order to change at Upper Holloway, got off the TfL Rail but had to walk all the way back because it had been closed the DAY BEFORE due to construction works xDD
I was in London last Tuesday for the first time I sadly missed out on the new Jan 18 map as I've only got the old May 17 map but Ill be back in London again at some point
Nice maps! But please put your RODE pop screen the right way up! Its doin' me 'ed in.
Amazing maps!
Geoff Marshall do you only buy what you mention in this video, or do you do this for a living? Also I have Asperger Syndrome (a mild for of autism) I mention this because I suspect there must be people who are autistic and enjoy these sort of hobbies.
I also have autism, and am happy to find someone else. :)
There are two more Out of Station Interchanges on the Tube Map: Kentish Town and Kentish Town West, Caledonian Road and Caledonian Road & Barnsbury.
I noticed the Queen's Road sign at Upper Holloway back in November and took a quick picture thinking it would be taken away very quickly. My first thought was it was one with a typo like the ones with Walthamstow misspelled that were installed at Walthamstow Central when the Overground arrived there. I would be great to find out what will happen to that Queen's Road sign. If it is a spare I can give it a home.
I'll try that but in my own city, I'll report back next year or when I've done them all!
Tried Tufnell Park in the rush hour ? - don't think you will find it quiet ! Great video !
I was in London in Sept 2017. I stayed in Bayswater. I found it strange that Bayswater Station is on Queensway and Queensway Station is on Bayswater Road. Derek, Perth, Western Australia.
Great video and thanks for the links....I downloaded all the maps and they are all brilliant, wouldn’t have known otherwise! Any idea when TFL upload the latest tube map on their website?
Paddington and Lancaster Gate should be oos Interchange, especially when there are problems and circle district and metro lines, or when Paddington tube is closed. Only found Lancaster Gate by chance, and was such a send when I was in London last and Paddington tube station was completely closed.
The map at 11:30 looks almost very similar to the one MTA uses for the NYC Subway.
Here in Gothenburg our public transport company/autority (Västtrafik) only issues tram maps, the bus maps was discontinued about 2010...
They try with that it is to complex to do such a map and you give examples like Stockholm, Copenhagen and London you don't get a comeback :P
Not tube map or londonist, East Lancashire railway in Bury, heritage railway have just got the Flying Scotsman in their sheds approx 4 hrs ago. At present no running schedule available. With being a Northerner your Londonist blog is top class especially the tube.
How about the London connections challenge? Every station on the London connections map from Gatwick & Redhill upto Heathrow then Watford and over Romford & Shenfeild? Tube, Overground, Tram, National rail & DLR the lot, New world record ?
Geoff, did tou forget to put in the link to the tufnell park abandoned station video? Or does it no longer exist?
Great video as always, Geoff. Will probably invest in the Architecture Map... although there's also a great one hidden away in the London Underground Design Idiom they released a couple of years back. (Found at content.tfl.gov.uk/station-design-idiom-2.pdf ) - scroll to page 199 and there's a tube map but all the stations are coded according to their era of design. Pretty useful - especially the brief overview of each era on the following pages. Perhaps an idea for another series - a video on stations with each architectural style? :)
I got a new map on the same day your were there from Blackhorse Road. I didn’t know they were only released that day!
Good video, perhaps TfL could try identifying walking links on the tube map, visitors don't realise how nearby some stations are, walking is quicker than changing lines. Shoreditch High street to Liverpool Street is 10 mins walk, but still a convenient option.
You’re right about south Tottenham it cots no extra to connect to seven sisters and there are signs to seven sisters at the exit too
But walking from upper Holloway to archway is quicker than seven sisters to south Tottenham
I think that they should give the overground its own map, I know that it might cause problems in terms of connection blobs but they would be able to alter that. Maybe leave crossrail and tramlink on the tube map for now but in the future I think that it would be a good idea.
21 stations covered in the 3 days while visiting London in November!
I like this challenge 😄👍🏻 Next time I visit London, I gonna try to visit as many stations as possible
almost two years later, and the bridge at Upper Holloway is still closed, and the signs are still there
+1 another added to the tube map collection
Horray for the RUclips recommendation system, this was buried when it was current and I just discovered this video today...
Didn't you go through another gate line on the Piccadillyh line to get home?
Also thanks for alerting me another usefully located KFC (the other usefully located branch near LU AFAIK is Goodge Street) by Archway. One to remember whenever I'm next down in the London area.
All the maps... all of them!
love the content man
Sorted, I've always wondered where you got that rail map from on your phone cheers dude.
My partner Liz and I visited all the tube stations in 2017! Here's our video: ruclips.net/video/yZSlr1Yzf2A/видео.html (We also did the DLR but haven't done a video of that.)
James O'Malley right so I would subscribe to you but your on 666 subs and I don’t really wanna ruin that
Hahaha, Foreman tune and all!
James O'Malley
The
Thanks Tufnell Park!
Thufnell Park.
I love the fact I spotted the labyrinth picture at Tuffnell Park despite it only being on screen for a split second, and that I've never been in that station.
Question for you all and Geoff, I’ve been looking over the carto.metro map, just wondering why do some lines cross over to the opposite side and then back again, like on the Victoria line between Highbury and Islington and Kings Cross or like at Baker Street on the Jubilee???
Perhaps mobile and interactive maps are the future? If I could set the parameters of my journey, (whether I'm prepared or able to walk parts for example), then the map app just gives me the best route removing all the other unneeded stations and decluttering the map for my specific journey. Though, maybe you can already do this!?
Geoff, are you doing all the stations northern island/ Ireland?
Harvey Dee I
Geoff you forgot to mark off Victoria
Must be a Northern Line thing, got mine from East Finchley. Day & night tube
