The 5-minute learn: Create pretty and geographically accurate transport maps in R

Learn to plot the London Tube network accurately

I’m experimenting with an occasional article called ‘the 5-minute learn’ where I try to teach a useful technique in 5 minutes reading time or less. In this first attempt, we are going to look at how to create a graph of the London Tube network which is geographically accurate (unlike the one we often see). If you have the right data, you should be able to easily apply this technique to other transport networks.
