> can't think of a single terrorist attack in an tube station > an explosion occurred on a District line train at Parsons Green Underground station https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsons_Green_train_bombing Is that a concrete-enough example? I don't think the maps are an issue either, but you pretending to be ignorant that they are attacked, and that lines between them are attacked, is weird.

I'm not pretending trains aren't being attacked and it's incredibly disingenuous that you need to pretend that's what I'm saying. What I'm saying maps of STATIONS have nothing to do with TRAINS being attacked. It seems like you think trains and stations are the same thing, and that's something you'll need to figure out for yourself.

You can just admit you forget about these attacks if you want.

These diagrams were based on some provided by TFL in response to a Freedom of Information request. They redacted areas where "disclosure of the information requested would be likely to adversely affect the safety and security of TfL employees and members of the general public."

Fantastic! That means they at least have made _some_ ethical editorial decisions, and didn't conform to some naïve conception that all information should be widely publicized regardless of the potential for adverse effects.

It also means that one could make one's own survey, and then compare the differences between it and the publicly-available maps, which may highlight potential points of interest.

I've lived in London for 30 years. My partner was 2 trains ahead of the one that detonated at Edgware Road. You're a toy soldier and you can just admit you don't know the difference between trains and stations.

Jesus Fucking Christ.

It was in a train carriage of a train which had just left Edgware Road station. We use the label "Edgware Road" to identify which of the bombings it was.

I'm genuinely embarrassed for you at this point.

I've always appreciated the official Hong Kong MTR station 3D maps https://www.mtr.com.hk/en/customer/services/system_map.html for example: https://www.mtr.com.hk/archive/ch/services/layouts/hok.pdf or https://www.mtr.com.hk/archive/ch/services/layouts/kot.pdf

I recall seeing a similar map of Taipei Main Station [1] when visiting Taiwan.
