Mr Pinsky told BBC News he wanted to find a link between the ancient site of Segedunum Roman Fort and the modern metro system. The fort, which stands on the banks of the Tyne, was the last outpost of Hadrian's Wall and remains a Tyneside landmark. Mr Pinsky said: "I thought it would be interesting to integrate the heritage into a contemporary theme - so that's the idea of having the bilingual signs.

Explaining the idea of basing a map of Hadrian's Wall on the metro system he said: "People taking a casual glance will think that it's a metro map, but when they take another glance they will see it's actually something quite different."
