Northern’s new network map
Find out how Transport Designed redesigned Northern’s network map with clarity, consistency and connections in mind
Transport Designed are specialists in creating high quality, bespoke public transport maps for bus, rail and tram operators and transit authorities.
Each public transport map we design is meticulously researched and crafted to meet the requirements of your brief. We look at everything through a ‘customer first’ lense – what does a potential passenger need to know in order to make the best choices for their journey?
From there, we’ll look at the best options for styling, cartography, legibility, accessibility and the hierarchy of information – we can guide you through every stage of the process.
We use a wide range of industrial-grade technology to create detailed, accurate transport maps, including Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Affinity and more. In addition to printed and display maps, we can design for interactive and digital formats – just speak to our team and let us know what you’ve got in mind.
We start by listening. Every operator is different. Different network, different customers, different pressures. We don’t apply templates. We ask the right questions first.
We develop concepts grounded in the brief, tested against real operational constraints. You’ll see the thinking, not just the output. Revisions are part of the process, not an extra.
Production-ready files, supplier briefings, implementation guidance. We don’t hand over a PDF and disappear. We make sure the work actually works in the real world.
