Underground maps

Let the weirdness begin.

♫ Sexy, sexy, very, very sexy. They're very sexy.♫ 

No, not the cheesecake/beefcake variety but the  Harry Beck variety.

Still clueless?

Well, I speak of the following:

That is the underground map of Hamburg, a city that just has to be on your visit to Germany, but more of that at a later time. I'll just mention the triad - A City, A River, An excellent Underground. There. You're booking your tickets already.

I'm based in England and am more familiar with the London version:

Another fine city that has to be on your radar, not only for the dirndl wearing Mädchen or lederhosen wearing Jungen of the Oktoberfest, is München whose map is shown below.

Then there is this for your next stop off in Vienna:

Then there is the Berlin map

I do have to admit that for this one, you do have to be a special kind of geek and I do admit to spending my waiting time in some train stations just reading these maps with the occasional break to look at the train timetables. There is more to some stations than the sight of (insert train of your choice), or a drink/sausage from an Imbiss stand.

There is a lot of detail in these maps so you might want to use you favourite browser to help you out.

Why do these maps appeal to me? Well as they say in my home city - F**k knows. It just might be the mathematician or scientist in me.

If this has piqued you interest, good, if not then not to worry. BUT there is a load of stuff out there, wiki can get you started.

Sorry for the shortness of this one, I'll make it up at a later date.

Finally, any comments are more than welcome.
