2017 Glastonbury tube map

[deadstillstanding]

Hey everyone!

I made a tube map of the site last year that some people seemed to find pretty useful. Well I've updated it for 2017 – basically just by adding Cineramageddon. Hope it helps!

I'll be onsite on Friday and wish you all an excellent festival. If you or anyone you meet runs into any difficulty of any kind, please come and check in with us at welfare – we can help, in confidence, no questions asked. I'm in the Green Welfare tent by the old railway track (the one with this map stuck to the outside...).

- Pete

PS Last year a few people requested a high res image with a transparent background for high quality printing, so here's that version too.

Instant like! I love the tube map (I have it as a duvet cover!) so really dig this. Top work sir!

[Joshuwarr]

This is brilliant - bravo!

[M_Il]

This is brilliant! I'm assuming this is the monorail route? 

[mjsell]

Add on question. What would you name each of the lines?

[mjsell]

I love this tube map btw, but I do have the tiniest of issues with what happens to the line after/before the Blues?

[paulshane]

brilliant stuff but should the circles be 'doubles' showing you can change lines ?

disclaimer: i don't live in london, so dont see a tube map very often

[Gozzynoko-Flow]

Nice.

[MartinK]

Awesome going to get this printed to a t-shirt

[charliehashope]

Love it!! Well done and thanks x

Some are easy - old railway track, muddy lane, etc. But most don't have commonly known names so it wouldn't help.

Not sure I follow..? That route ends when it meets the other. What's missing?

Nah. The doubles on the tube map are when there are two sections to a station with an underpass or whatever connecting them. Doesn't really make sense on here. I did try using them for areas like the Pyramid and Other but it just looked a bit dump as didn't really help.

Thats not what happens on the normal tube map. The lines would run parallel to one another until their teminus station.

Like I said, its not important and the creation looks and is fantastic, it was just a tiny sidenote.

Excellent

I respectfully disagree. Several lines terminate when they meet another line. It's only if a service runs to a shared terminal that the lines continue in parallel. The difference is that on the tube there a station at a terminal, whereas on this map the 'stations' are stages or other points of interest, which don't appear at every junction. I did try putting stations on all the line intersections but it didn't make much sense and looked like I'd just forgotten to label them.

I hate to argue, but there is nowhere on a London tube map where a line ends when not at a station like the green line does in your glasto version.  If it is followiing the tube map layout style It should either continue running parallel with the purple to Gate A/D or end at The Blues.

I'm going to stop now though - because like I have said it really is a fantastic piece of art that you have created.

[Avalon_Fields]

Great creation! Can I use my Oyster Card then?

Also tempted to get on a T Shirt! (If I do I'll come along to your place)

As I say, the difference is that on the tube there's a station at every lines' terminal, but station means something different on this map so it wouldn't make sense to put one on in this case. The path through Silver Hayes continues past the Blues until it terminates where it meets the other path.

would a slight change like this settle everyone down ?

It definitely might improve Silver Hayes.

The discussion is all good though. There are a few different ways to do this map, I know 'cos I've tried them all. Last year I spent the best part of a week trying to reconcile the tube map logic with the functional reality of being a lost punter wandering around at Glastonbury. I think this strikes the right balance between it being a slavish TFL tribute map, something that makes sense on the ground, and not looking too messy. I'm 100% willing to revise if anyone comes up with any good ideas.

[ghostdancer1]

it's great as it is, nice one @deadstillstanding

[mario man]

Well I think it's absolutely superb, very well done OP!

[Neville Street]

We had this on t shirts last year. Although to be useful we either had to be with each other or we should have printed upside down!

We visited FMS and chatted to Pete on the Sunday, they have a giant map up there on the side of the tent.
