Slightly tricky when some stations and lines have trains to multiple

Have you seen the Overground Network map:

I have; i quite like that one, i have to say. It's more than just a
recolouring of the London Connections map, though, and i think i'm right
in saying that for the low-frequency lines, it doesn't indicate
destination (Epsom Downs, for instance - does that join the green line
that goes to Victoria, or the one that goes to West Croydon?); i guess
that since these lines are loew-frequency anyway, they don't matter so
much.

Now, who wants to have a go at photoshopping the Lon Con map to include
this scheme?

Oh, hang on, i'm forgetting something:

NR's own version of London Connections, which shows lines coloured by
operator. It's ugly as sin, but it does almost do the job. You just need
to split the Southern and Southeastern lines, and the orbital lines from
their related radials.

There's also this classic Southern map that uses a similar concept:

Ooh, i think i've seen that one before, but a long time ago. Yes, that
really is good, in a rather overcomplicated way.

Maybe the solution to the Gordian map problem is just to simplify the
service patterns!
