Its called the Way Out Tube Map and its available for £1.95 from Stanfords Bookshops in London (the one nr Leicester Sq has never failed to stock it). Alternatively if you cannot pop into London village then other bookshops should order it in for you. It's not a book by the way, pretty much just a fold up leaflet.

But beware of the (few) errors in it - like Jubilee into Green Park for Piccadilly... http://lund.dyndns.org/zone1/Challenge2005.htm :twisted:

Probably cost us five minutes on the Zone 1 Challenge Day! :(

Yeah that is true actually, it's good as a principle, but there's a few negatives to it. Some of us lot (*cough* Geoff) have done their much more detailed versions. I for one have worked out which door, rather than just which carriage for the main run. and the way out tube map doesnt include the Jub Ext or East London Line. but it is colourful! woo!

There is a book though called the Clever Tube Hopper, this is more accurate then the Way Out Map, but is unfortunalty now out of print.

Thats because new passageways were built for the Jubilee Line Extension, which isn't covered by the Way Out Map.
