Have you seen the Overground Network map:

(the ON website was taken down a few months ago. I presume the signage
can't be far behind)


I thought it looked a bit stale when I saw it a few months ago, but I see
www.overgroundnetwork.com now redirects to TfL's homepage. I was wondering
what would happen to the platform signs, because they are basically quite
useful, in a similar format to LU line maps. I guess they could remain with
some sort of minor rebranding, but to what? I believe South London Metro has
already been tried...

I wonder if http://www.overground.co.uk is a cybersquatter?

There's also this classic Southern map that uses a similar concept:
http://www.virtualportmeirion.com/network/largemap.htm


That shows quite well how little the network has really changed - I guess
the blue line to Holborn Viaduct from Sevenoaks sould be dusted off again
for Thameslink - I think its one of the intended routes?
