How about having cross- or same-platform interchange shown by having
both lines go through a single circle, rather than having two joined
circles? This might make the map look a bit simpler, too. Or are you
reserving that for shared tracks only?

That's the major problem - if I will put cross-platform interchanges in
one circle, then how would I mark the stations which some line passes
through but does not stop (like Neasden for Metropolitan and Jubilee, or
Chiswick Pack for District and Piccadilly). I was thinking about
half-circles (to the side of the stopping line), but it looks somewhat
weird (especially 'cause it's only for 11 stations).

How about having the non-stop line go past the circle altogether? Like:

West
Hampstead
-------O----\ /----- Jubilee
-------------=O=------ Metropolitan
Finchley
Road

You can do this even when the two lines share tracks (eg Clapton on the
big railway - is there anywhere this happens on LU?).

Yes. this requires a little geographical deviation, but your map is a map
of lines, which are conceptual entities defined by service patterns of
trains, not a map of tracks, which are those long, thin bits of metal.
