Maybank extensions

Blimey maps coming from all angles! I'll post the station names, but stopping patterns haven't been finalised.

As mentioned above, I hope there is a decent 156 run as the current one os quite limited in both time and speed.

Yes, the semi fast is diagrammed for the 156 but the linespeed ain't all that great, mostly 60mph.

Ah well! :mad:

I like TC's map, only I think it needs a little more shape, if you see what I mean. From the list of stations Steve gave, and Tom's map I have come up with this small prototype. I assume the route looks something like this (only major stations are pinpointed at this time):

Is that right Steve?

 

[Tom]

Had a thought because the other one was a bit confusing.

Lol I would watch out. tfL will probably try and sue you for not seeking copyright of 'their' map design...!

Rich, Blackbrook is a branchline not before Maybank on the mainline!

Superb stuff TC, but can we get away with using tfLs design?

 

[Tom]

It is probably a bit on the line - it is freeware so it shouldn't have any problems, whereas the page which was removed by Geoff Marshall was a name modification of the tube map, therefore defacing it, but this is a modification for a fictional route so it should be OK!

Hi mate. The junction for Hobbs Cross is just after Norton and form the slow line, the Hobbs Cross is formed. Brookfield is on this line between Norton and Hobbs Cross. Other than that, brilliant map and I love the style!

Comic Sans MS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've decided to make one, got a bit bored

[Coxster]

Love it Jordy - except it is 'Ludgate Hill' and not 'Ludgate Hull'

 

[Jordy]

Lol, whoops! Have sorted it now

I love it too! I wonder what Steve thinks...?

 

[Nitro]

Very good Jordy, Maybank (or Network West Midlands as its called now) seems to be growing bigger and bigger!

 

[Tom]

I can't decide...

 

[Muppet]

I can't decide...

WOW! that looks great how do u do that?

 

[Tom]

Something called a Tubemap and Paint, well in my case Photoshop, but quite easily doable in Paint...

 

[Muppet]

oh rite looks very life like

 

[Tomnick]

I can't decide...

Methinks that the 'branch' should be to the left of the main line though . As you drive from Maybank, that's the one that heads off to the right after you've left the tunnel beyond Whitminster...tipping that on its head leaves you with it on the left of the map! I'll go away and be pedantic somewhere else now .

 

[Tom]

I could mirror it over I guess...

A total mirror other than the names and it will be perfect

 

[wumpty]

Love it Jordy! Still like TC's very much too.

Possibly as it looks like TC has used the Mill Hill branch for it

 

[Tom]

I have? No I haven't. There is 1 station on the Mill Hill branch.

Well i'm sure it's easy enough to add a dot on the map.

(I won't argue any more as i'll lose )

 

[Tom]

Still can't decide.

 

[Nitro]

Think the last one is better TC...

I love the latest one Tom, but I also like Jordy's. I would say Jordy's is better, as it has more originality to it, whereas Tom's is basically a tube map, with different stations. Perhaps a different font, colour, different symbols etc, to give it more individuality.
