The mainline railway put maps of their stations on national rail enquiries, some of these maps are better than others but at least they exist.

Does anything similar exist for stations on TfLs network.

Thanks, though the paddington map seems to be missing the hammersmith and city platforms.

And of course being from 2015 rather out of date.

That’s because Paddington (Suburban) is technically a different station. The blogpost linked to seems to imply that it only includes 124 stations, as not all stations have axonometric drawings.

“Stations with underground tunnels” is mentioned in his text as well. Presumably that doesn’t include the simplest subways at some surface stations.

These LU station axonometric maps are fascinating, But the combination of their age, and the fact that what they show doesn't seem geared particularly to what a passenger would need to know (and the fact that it's a partial set) makes them less useful than some of the NR ones are. I say some, since some of the latter are hopeless and simply silly in the way they're misleading. LU equivalents of the NR idea would be useful for some places - though where thyey're needed most they might well be almost impossible to render intelligently in two dimensions anyway.

On the other hand, for many LU stations, there's little need for such maps since the situation is very straightforward, usually signposted adequately, and with few extra facilities (like toilets and shops and so on - and ticket offices) that people need to know about.

The LU maps are not intended for passenger use - IIRC they were released as a result of Freedom of Information act request, and are heavily redacted.

There is not, the developer is a Apple guy (the same Geoff Marshall who makes rail videos). There are similar apps available for other platforms, but not necessarily with the maps.
