So you end up with a blob on stations that are not interchange stations.
Not really a great idea. Having a small chair symbol at the side would be
just as effective and stop the map looking its suffering from smallpox.
If you put a small chair by a station, people may be fooled into
thinking they can exit to street from all lines passing thru that
station; take Waterloo for example, if the above were followed and a
chair-bound passenger wanted to ride frmo West Finchley to Waterloo,
they'd have a hard time getting up the stairs from the Northern
platform

So the solution is to use blobs that would otherwise exist anyway, such
as at Waterloo or Westminster, but put a dinky little symbol next to the
station name at, eg, Pinner.
