After the abberation of the Hutchison map [see image 29931] Paul Garbutt was given the job as designer and the map took on the familiar form which is essentially the same today.  This edition is probably from 1968.  The northern half of the Victoria line is open, and there are expected dates for opening to Victoria itself.  As for the final section, Pimlico is missing: presumably it was an afterthought.  No Jubilee line yet: it was to pinch the Stanmore branch of the Bakerloo, which also lost the line beyond Harrow & Wealdstone to BR.
