Use of colourfor different lines
Harry Beck designed the london underground map in 1933. He got the idea from an electrical circuit diagram, he used different colour lines to represent the train track and simple symbols as interchanges and stations.
The underground map is a non-geographical map, this means that map is not actually related to the actual landscape of London. It only shows where the stations are.

This type of map design is still used today, many countries and cities have adopted its style because its easy to use and clear to understand.
Becks underground map is now an icon of British graphic design.
