Title: Did it really need an FOI request for this? Post by: PhilWakely on September 17, 2015, 18:31:45 From the Huffington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/09/16/london-underground-tube-geographically-accurate-map-obtained-freedom-information-request_n_8144228.html?1442391887)

I am not a lawyer / this is a guess. You know how government MPs ask tame questions to get something (completely) out in public and open. Same things sometimes happen with FOI requests ...
