Template:London transit icons

Template documentation[ view · edit · history · purge ]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:London transit icons/doc.

This is an image set of icons used by Transport for London as of 2025: former lines and routes are included for sake of completeness.

Colour standards

The official colour specifications can be found at the website of Transport for London. However, Pantone's RGB conversions are used, because they are more stable than TfL's RGB and CMYK conversions. In addition:

• The colour for Crossrail, before it became the Elizabeth line, is Pantone 265.
• The colour for the East London line, while it was part of the London Underground, is Pantone 137.
• The colour for the Fleet line was Pantone 431, because Pantone 432 was too easy to confuse with the Northern line.
• The colour for the London Cable Car is Pantone 186.

Design standards

Flag box specifications are based on page 17 of the TfL line diagram standard, from 2008:

• The width is 480 pixels wide.
• The height for one-line flag boxes (such as the Central line) is 60 pixels high.
• The height for two-line flag boxes (such as the Hammersmith & City line) is 120 pixels high.
• The height for Overground flag boxes (such as the Windrush line) is 84 pixels high.
• The font is NJFont, the latest version of New Johnston.

Only the British Rail symbol, which entered the public domain on 1 January 2016, may be used in flag boxes: the threshold of originality in the United Kingdom is lower than Greece and the United States.

Navigation box

Note to editors on how to manage collapsibility:

• Use {{London transit icons|state=collapsed}} to show this template in its collapsed (hidden) state.
• Use {{London transit icons|state=expanded}} to show this template in its expanded (fully visible) state.
• Use {{London transit icons|state=autocollapse}} to show this template in its collapsed (hidden) state only if there is another template of the same type on the page. (This is usually the default.)
