I'm not sure... calling one "Trafalgar Square" when the other isn't

change to the Bakerloo line from the Northern.
Indeed. This is where a diagrammatic map breaks down, along with the idea
that an interchange is universal (all ways to all ways).
It might be better to show these sort of station groups in a non-diagrammatic
way, to make it clear that:
a) You don't have to travel to the named LUL station to get to a particular
same-named place or NR station.
b) You *can* interchange, but it involves significant walking.

If there was room on the diagrams, you'd need
1) interchanges
2) a kind of link for long interchanges where you don't have to go
through the exit (eg Bank - Monument, Trafalgar Square - Charing Cross,
Waterloo - Waterloo)
3) a kind of link for walkable changes involving the exit (eg Bank -
Cannon Street [actually nearer than Monument], Great Portland Street -
Regents Park, Euston - Euston Square)
