But it does look odd leaving out non-TfL rail lines. For example, on that map, East Croydon looks like a little wayside halt compared to West Croydon. I wonder if the other lines shouldn't have been shown in a pale grey? |

There is of course a map that shows all rail lines plus the danglebahn. http://content.tfl.gov.uk/london-rai...rvices-map.pdf While I'm here, the Overground map in the Goblin trains (which is presumably the same as the one in the other Overground trains) is AWFUL. I know it's topological, but Liverpool Street has ended up in completely the wrong part of the map. I don't know why Overground maps even exist... there is no Underground map in tube trains or anywhere. |

There are more recent additional maps in cl.378 (AC units at least) trains for each line in roughly the same style of the line diagrams displayed in Underground trains. As with S stock which serves both Circle and District Lines, there are separate maps for each line as known (e.g. DC and NLL) before being lumped together as Overground in addition to the existing "whole system" maps. I know it's topological, but Liverpool Street has ended up in completely the wrong part of the map. I don't know why Overground maps even exist... there is no Underground map in tube trains or anywhere. |
