Title: Mapping journeys you are making at the moment [DotD 19.4.2020] Post by: grahame on April 19, 2020, 11:05:43 Looking forward to resumed public transport - or rather public transport re-growing from it's current key worker skeleton service, I have been learning Metro Map Maker - https://metromapmaker.com - a free website that lets you draw up lines and stations. Although designed around metro systems and stations, it looks good for buses as well as trains too and. Following on from yesterday's Living Room to Garden via Kitchen discussion ( http://www.passenger.chat/23275 ), I drew up my very first home away from home - a 2 bedroomed terraces in Harpenden, Hertfordshire - and before you ask, no, I couldn't really afford Harpenden and so this was on the wrong side of the river in Batford.
Readers will note the potential bottleneck through "Kitchen" and appreciate the desirablity at times of culinary crisis to reach both Garden and Luan Barf via an alternative though longer route. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/metro_25batfordroad.jpg) Memory is a funny thing - I can look back to 1976 to 1978 and remember the above very clearly - but then have a blank for Caddington (Luton) and Chippenham days which were subsequent. Anyone else care to add a map.

Alternatively you could call it a mobile "man caye"?
