Indeed, the map bearing an intentional similarity to TfL's own spider
maps plus the other factors means TfL have an argument that the
website is guilty of 'passing off' - the author's use of the phrase
"The new official bus map leaflets are out!" hardly helps his defence
case.

For the benefit of us outside London, is this basically just a map of
bendy bus routes ?

No map shows here, or is it only visible in Selfridges window?

The map was originally available via a link on the blog's 'homepage'
here (it was underneath the link to the author's website)...
http://happytransportforlondon.co.uk/
...however it appears that it has now been taken down (or at least the
link to it has).
The stuff about it being displayed in Selfridges window is almost
certainly BS.
