You asked
👋 Hey TfL, how're you all doing?
I am a very big passionate enthusiast of London's iconic Tube Map that TfL's produces every now & then - albeit the 'Tube' map now also includes the DLR, London Overground, Elizabeth Line, Tramlink, Cable Car, Riverboat services, Victoria Coach Station & the National Railway line of Thameslink.
As a result of my fascination, I just wanted to request you if you can kindly share me a latest image/ pdf of a 'clean' Tube Map without any Step-free blobs, Fare Zones, etc. if any exists please (like the tube maps shown on commercial products that do not have any step-free blobs or fare zones on them)?

TfL Ref: 1430-2223
Thank you for your request received by us on 12 September 2022 asking for information about the formatting of the Tube map. Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold some of the information you require. You asked for:

A digital version of the Tube map as described in your request is available via TfL Go for viewing on a phone or tablet device at: https://tfl.gov.uk/maps_/tfl-go which does not feature any Travelcard zones or accessibility symbols.
We do not produce this version in any other format as to do so would require considerable changes to the map file software we use, in addition to the significant expense that would be incurred as part of the process. Please note that in accordance with section 21 we are not obliged to provide you with the information requested as it is reasonably accessible to you elsewhere.
If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.
Yours sincerely
Jasmine Howard FOI Case Officer FOI Case Management Team General Counsel Transport for London
