Looks OK to me.

Even if you hit Refresh multiple times? Maybe it's a caching problem at 
Demon.

I've just clicked on the above URL and found Euston station in two colours. 
I clicked "Large Map" to widen the area and found that St Pancras and King's 
Cross were similarly two-tone.  Then I clicked refresh and the tones on all 
three stations were swapped!

It's OK here. Whatever I do doesn't replicate the symptoms you report. Might 
be worth clearing your browser's cache, if you haven't already tried that.

why would clearing the cache work for a site that I have never been to 
before?

I have just been there (for the first every time) and I have a two-tone 
Euston as well

It appears to depend on what browser you use. On IE7 I get a mix of the 
old and new tiles but on Firefox 3 I only get the new tiles.

It quite often seems to lock on to either the new or old map, but at other 
times produces a different mixture of old and new tiles with each refresh. 
I've seen both behaviours on IE6 and Firefox.

As this is the first post you've made on the subject, I would I know that 
this is your first visit to the site? I don't do telepathy. As none of the 
other posters have indicated that this is their first visit, I was simply 
making a suggestion. Regardless of browser or number of refreshes, I don't 
see the symptoms that are reported.

For me, Euston looked normal, but St Pancras was a weird mish-mash of old 
and new.

So, no change there then. BOOM BOOM!

Er, anyway, yes, Firefox 3 on a Mac via Demon, FWIW.
