A new Tokyo transport map - well done JR East


I came across this for the first time this evening. It's a new integrated map of the Tokyo rail network.  it's seriously impressive. Not all stations are marked, but as far as I can tell, all lines are.  (At least if the Toden Arakawa tram line and the Nippori Toneri liner are on it, I think all lines should be.)
It really gives a sense of the extent of the rail network.

Sure beats the Sydney rail network

Sure to be sure... though the number of accidents - mostly people falling or jumping onto the tracks seems to be increasing a lot... Barrier gates on the stations is going someway to reduce incidents, but even so, definitely much better than Sydney!
