Tube map to help anxious travellers

A London Underground map has been published to help passengers with claustrophobia or anxiety conditions.

The new design highlights routes they can take to avoid long stretches of tunnels.

More than half of the Tube’s 270 stations are above ground, with only the Victoria and Waterloo & City lines wholly underground.

In April Transport for London announced that badges for people with hidden health conditions who needed a seat on trains and buses were to be permanently available.
