The Development of The London Tube Visualized


With the Olympics madness in London right now and the public transportation fully packed, I thought it would be interesting to look at the subway, called the Tube on this side of the pond. As resident of London and daily commuter, I was really curious to know more about the history of the Tube. In order to visualize its historical development I used Tableau software to create this Viz.  The path shelf feature was particularly useful.
