Extensively illustrated with examples of both traditional tabular and modern simplified timetable designs from the London network, it critically examines the evolution of information display for commuters. The author, known for his keen observations on London life and infrastructure, provides an insightful, opinionated, yet well-supported perspective on information design and user experience.
