It's missing the Northern City Line from Moorgate or is that deliberate?

And Balham is apparently no longer an interchange station (for National
Rail).

They've closed the gateway to the south?

Rather spoils the whole thing, I think.

I disagree. The intention is to highlight the 'Overground' circle,
which it achieves very well. As Recliner notes, it introduces a very
familiar shape in the centre which would be great subliminal
advertising if only it were an official design!

A round Circle Line would be a separate project, though I suspect it
would make the outskirts rather messy. If memory serves correctly Mr
Beck tried an elliptical Circle Line and was unable to make it work
satisfactorily (though that may have been one of the later designers,
Garbutt maybe).

On that diagram it would have no effect on the outskirts, the worst it
might do is introduce some extra kinks in the Northern Line between
Kings Cross and Monument.

Maxwell J Roberts (who work this appears to be) is a Psychologist
researching in this area. He has produced a whole range of Underground
maps using different design methodologies. He even has a book on the
subject. Some of the designs in it are barely usable (and he produces them
to prove that very point) yet artistically appealing.

I rather like most of it, and it seems generally geographically logical.
But I don't like the big loop on the North London Line between Willesden
Junction and Acton Central, which also takes it the wrong side of North
Acton and Acton Main Line.

I don't like the way the Northern Line City branch around Kennington
crosses the Charing Cross branch twice and the Bakerloo once, all
unnecessarily.
