TITLE/CONTENT OF MAP: 'Underground Railways of London'

This paper edition of the Stingemore map has the Central London Railway line in Orange. More space has been used to show the Central area lines and to give more room for the Station names and only a few stations now show the initials of the mainline services from that station. The map differs from the card edition of the pocket map issued to passengers in the same year (1928) in that Kennington Station has not yet lost the suffix (New St), West Acton has not yet acquired the suffix 'for Hanger Hill', and Headstone Lane Station is still shown in the list of stations that go beyond North Wembley on the Bakerloo line. The reverse has a map showing connections with main line termini. 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.
