Highbury & Islington to Charing Cross

The circles derived from reading "Lines" by Tim Ingold:
The hub-and-spokes model of place (left) compared with the place as a knot of entangled lifelines (right). In the diagram on the left, the circle represents a place, the dots are its living occupants and the straight lines indicate the connectors of a transport network. In the diagram on the right, the lines are living inhabitants, and the knot in the middle is a place.

So, "being on the tube" is a place?

St Giles Church to Trafalgar Square

Circles = time sitting in traffic; dots = time at bus stops; x = bell. When the page was full, the young man sitting opposite said, "I think I've figured out what you're doing - but I didn't want to interrupt you to ask."

Finsbury Park to St Giles Church

First use of the doily format - with a change in the loops during announcements, and dots for being stopped in traffic.
