It's very dishonest. A casual glance at the map suggests that there are 4
trains an hour from Slade Green to Dartford, but on closer examination the
key manages to avoid actually stating that the coloured lines imply a 4
trains an hour service.
Similarly New Malden-Surbiton.
Either St Johns to Lewisham or St Johns to Hither Green (or both) must lack
4 trains an hour as well.
Add to that:
Whitton: says 4tph, but really it's 2ph fast and 2ph slow, and in one
direction the fast and slows are only a few minutes apart at Whitton,
so really it's two sets of 2ph. In the other direction (can't remember
which) I eblieve they're more evenly spaced.
It's similar for up trains at Ashford: 2ph via Hounslow, 2ph via
Richmond, with both trains in each half of the hour very close
together; but more even in the other direction.
Purley Oaks and S Croydon aren't shown as having 4tph, and neither are
the Caterham line stations; that may be because they don't all run
from London Bridge so don't all fit on the same line, but the same
could be said of the Dartford line routes.
