I've added a table with all the stops, to the page "Victoria

Line". I am thinking about ways to prettify it, and would like feedback from others.

A friend of mine did something similar a few years ago for a pub crawl; I very much like the look of it. It's at http://www.mesklin.demon.co.uk/beer/hccrawl.html, and he says:

The html code is public domain. Typography notes: I couldn't use New Johnston (the official LU typeface) for this, so I substituted Myriad instead. I hear that Gill Sans might be a better fit.

So, he's using GIFs in the table to do the tube line effect. I like the look of this, but I think that having the names of the stops inside the images is wrong - these should be text.

I may put together the "Lego bricks" that can make up a tube line, when I get a spare moment at home. I'll need to make these in all the colours that a tube line comes in. Ho hum.
