Why don't any of the terminus stations have names?

Not something I thought of TBH.😊

Maybe use those for players who have reached the end of the line?

No Neil Stubenhaus on session greats?

Great stuff. Must have taken some time?

Blue says can he have one with 'Sir Paul' in the middle and 'everybody else' on all the remaining stations please?

[RickyV]

That is quite excellent. And Paz is on there, so I am happy!!

[HengistPod]

Excellent work, but I seem unable to locate Pete Way, Doug Pinnick or Cliff Williams ...

[jonnythenotes]

That's absolutely Brillo..... Love it..

[lowdown]

King of the left handed upside downers is missing.

[toneknob]

Nice one!

What are the "metal" stops between Kennington and Waterloo?

And you toally need to fill in the blanks btw, those are some major stations you've missed out. Can't just name the minor ones - get augmenting! (sorry)

[TrevorR]

Yeah, Neil Murray can occupy a terminus/connection station on the Blues/Rock and Metallists lines. And I'll nominate Davey Paton for an interchange between pop and session greats.

Carole Kaye might be a bit miffed she's not at the epicentre of absolutely everything though.

Another one for the revision It took about a wèek on and off, in between work and recovering from work.

Cliff is on there. The other two aren't - yet.

[Grassie]

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, they will all get added and I'll post a new edition next week. I bloody knew there were some big names missing, my poor research I'm afraid.

Bernard is on there, er...Leo Lyons isn't... An oversight, sorry! Like i said, it's kind of a prototype (a work in progress maybe) so I can add players later.

No worry - he is a contemporary of JPJ, John McVie, Andy Fraser and the like - pretty awesome and was always in the top 5 bass players in the MM say 69-71. Another good one is Larry Taylor - these guys taught us 60 somethings a lot about bass playing so we're quite formative.

I can't read it properly btw so forgive me if I've stated people already there!!

Regarding font, I believe the original font is s standard typeface like sans serif. TfL may try to copyright it but it would be like someone trying to copyright times new roman or anything else generic - they'll try anything - I heard there were thoughts of copyrighting new Routemaster bus seats - which are largely generic 1950s/60s bus seat design - it's a bit like trying to copyright wheel, or car etc.

That said the bulls eye and diagram are definitely theirs!

Good to see Pete Trewavas on there.
Love a bit of Marillion.

fantastic pic

[rushbo]

Great stuff...more power to yer elbow!

[howdenspur]

I'm only squinting on my phone, but a great piece of work Grassie!

[bluesparky]

Love it, just the type of thing I'd do when I'm bored!

[yorks5stringer]

Maybe a German one next (U-bahn), with Jeff Berlin at the epicentre?

[bassace]

Misuse of the word 'epicentre'. Plus, what's the point of this nonsense anyway? Bah humbug.

Epicentre: "The central point of something, typically a difficult or unpleasant situation". Sounds like playing the Bass to me.

[skb558]

Absolutely superb!
