Transport for London (TfL) launched a new map indicating which stations and parts of the TfL underground and rail network were in tunnels. TfL said the tunnels map has been created following suggestions from customers suffering from claustrophobia or anxiety conditions, who were finding it difficult using the Tube.
TfL said the new addition to its selection of downloadable Tube maps would help customers navigate the network more comfortably, by showing them routes they could take to avoid areas with large stretches of tunnels. While there are 270 stations on the Tube network, more than half are above ground, and only the Victoria line and the short Waterloo & City shuttle are entirely subterranean.
“Making the Tube network accessible for everyone is one of our top priorities. This new map is just one of the tools we have created in response to feedback from our customers on how we can make the transport network more accessible, making travelling easier and more comfortable for all our customers,” said TfL director of customer strategy Mark Evers.
