Yes, I believe Annie Mole has been emailed by about 10 people each pointing her to that map.

Someone also told her that one of the stations is in fact WRONG!

I think one of the stations' anagrams does not contain one letter that its real name does. And I really can't be arsed to work out which one it is ...

I had a little look and couldn't spot it.

Map is absolutely legendary though!!

Totteridge is indeed good. It's great that a lot of them actually make sense; the two words actually go together: eg. Supertanker Bow

... but having the Circle line as "Cleric" could be interpreted as bad taste (!!!!)

I don't know about you but for some reason the stations on the north Bakerloo all seem to fit the line's image.

The one missing a letter is obvious!!!

I'll leave you to guess before telling you all in a day or two.

p.s. I'm surprised it's only recenlty come to Annie's attention - it's been around fro months and it was linked from Geoff's blog a couple of weeks ago!

Ok, here's a new "tube challenge" for us all - arrange a regular tube map and the anagram one in two windows side by side, and time yourself to see how long it takes you to find it.

I now know what it is as the guy who did it said so in the comments on <a href="http://www.london-underground.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Annie's Blog</a>.

I have to say that I thought Wembley Park stood out like a sore thumb with it's missing L - I see that his new version has amended this.
