Here's an old London tube map ... although we use trains and tubes on a daily repeated basis and rely on them being the same from day to day, week to week, over time they change. Station names change. Stations are added and removed. Lines and connections are added and removed. What can you spot?

Jubilee line, taking the Bakerloo branch from Wembley Park and extending it through initially to central London via Oxford Circus and later through Waterloo and onwards into south east London.

Charing Cross on the District line is now calked Embankment. Renamed in 1976 so that the merged Strand and Trafalgar Square stations could be called Charing Cross.

Walham Green on the District Line is now Fulham Broadway. The old ticket hall has been repurposed: https://www.jdwetherspoon.com/pubs/walham-green-fulham/

The all-caps labels; the non-colocated circles for interchanges; the single green colour for the Metropolitan and District/Circle; the use of pull-outs (or "halos") so that a label can overlap a line (e.g. Monument); the centre alignment for multiple-line labels, even next to a vertical line (e.g. Highbury & Islington); the use of subtitles in smaller text for some stations (e.g. "Arsenal (Highbury Hill)"); concealing angles behind station interchange symbols (e.g. Mile End), which the modern Tube map never does; the stairs symbol at Monument/Bank.
Oh, and I think the whole thing is slightly out of register - the blue should be a bit up-and-to-the-left.

The East London Line and Northern City Line now part of the Overground. St Mary's Curve and Shoreditch gone.
No more Middle Circle.
