CAPTION PRINTED BELOW PICTURE: 'London Underground Transport - Railway Map No 2. 1937'

Compared to the previous 1937 #1 edition, this edition of the Beck diagram shows a change in colour for the Metropolitan line from purple to the same green as the District line. The Northern City line has joined with the Morden - Edgware Line and is now refered to as the Northern Line. The Central London line is renamed the Central line and the box indicator for the escalator connection between Bank and Monument is reduced in size.The map includes the "Middle Circle", an underground train line using the West London Railway between Latimer Road and Earls Court, passing through Uxbridge Road and Addison Road. The line closed in 1940 following bomb damage. It was not reopened until 2008 as part of the Overground network.
