A poster to uk.transport.london writes, with regard to in-car strip maps which go in the right direction:
"It's only possible for lines where the trains never get turned round and where all the line diagrams are on the sides of the cars. I think that's the Jubilee, Victoria, Bakerloo and Waterloo & City. Not sure if the maps on all four lines are arranged like this. Jubilee and Victoria definitely are."
(The Metropolitan and East London lines, which use the same rolling stock, have line diagrams in the centre of the carriages.)
The same thread suggests that some people find it confusing to have maps in different orientations on opposite sides of the carriage. I agree with you, though.
