Bus maps on new TfL website

[Mojo]

Does anyone know where to find the pdf bus maps on the new Transport for London website? I cannot see them anywhere, only the Google maps ones.

I haven't been able to find them either. Hopefully this is just one of the glitches that affect almost all new websites and they will appear soon.

Given that it's been in beta since about last August, with anybody free to try it out, there really shouldn't be many 'glitches' at all.

The old PDF spider maps are still on the old TfL website. Grab now!

Awesome, they've brought back the Google Maps for bus routes!

Just to highlight one thing on the links that Causton posted...

We will put bus route spider maps back over the next few days, in addition to the new interactive bus maps, as there seems to be a fair amount of demand for them.

One theory is that so few people spent any time on the beta (they saw the awful site, and went back to the old one) that few bug reports were filed..

There shouldn't yet it is so common for websites to appear after being redesigned with most of the functions either not working or inaccessible. Something is clearly not right with the testing process somewhere.

Probably not because it was 'awful,' but because there was virtually nothing on there. Barely any status info, only a few pages imported into the new site, none of the wealth of information on the main site.

This is the peril in having a "beta" website without enough demonstration data.

When the beta site went live I had a fiddle with the journey planner, and sent feedback reflecting my dismay that some data available on the old journey planner had been removed in the new one. Like with everything else TfL do though, they didn't take any notice!

They are there now - on the maps tab under Buses. Also there is a link to the old map page for the spider maps.

Here's another hunt-for-the-missing-item challenge: the forthcoming bus service changes document, previously accessible by going to bus service updates, clicking ‘Future dates’ and selecting ‘Service changes’ at the bottom of the pop-up calendar. Does anyone know where this is on the new site?
