London's Busiest Underground Stations


Where produce passengers drib dead along as well as off the tube? is an interactive map of the London Underground showing how many passengers larn into as well as larn out the subway scheme at each London subway scheme station. The size of each subway scheme business on the map reflects the release of passengers who larn into as well as larn out the subway scheme at each station.

The information behind the map is interesting as well as the resulting map looks quite pretty. As a visualization of the information silent the map could endure better. For unopen to argue the map's creator has decided to brand a 'geographically accurate' map of the London Underground rather than re-create Harry Beck's iconic subway scheme map design. This would endure fine if the map had station labels. It doesn't. It is thus real hard to piece of work out where private stations are on the map. This would endure less of a work if the map copied the London Underground map design. At to the lowest degree as well as so people familiar amongst the subway scheme map would convey unopen to thought where a lot of stations are on the map.

You tin hover over the map to sentiment the names of stations. The map likewise has a search function. Unfortunately the search engine doesn't appear to recognize one-half of the names of London Underground stations.

Of cast the release of passengers entering as well as exiting a station doesn't necessarily reverberate how busy a station is. On this map North Greenwich appears to endure well-nigh 8 times busier than West Ham. However, anyone using the Jubilee business inwards East London volition know that West Ham is oft far busier than North Greenwich. At West Ham most of the action is from passengers moving betwixt unlike subway scheme lines. So although it is oft the busier station West Ham doesn't convey every bit many passengers entering as well as exiting the station every bit North Greenwich.
