Default Frequent service maps...

Tom Anderson:
I'm not sure about the one colour per terminal, though. LU's maps have

the
idea of one colour per line, which i think should be maintained, and

i'm
not sure that you can consider all routes which go to the same

terminal to
be a single line. The Windsor and Guildford lines, for example, both

go to
Waterloo, but really aren't one line. Perhaps different lines serving

the
same termini could be distinguished by different hues or shades of the
same base colour? If Waterloo was red, Windsor could be burgundy,
Guildford scarlet, etc. I'm not sure what you'd do about Thameslink
services which go via Blackfriars and London Bridge; either have the

line
change colour as it crosses the river, or leave it off the map!


I don't think every different route needs different colours (and there
are limits on the number of them you can have, particularly given the
tube will be included as well). But I think there are arguments for
splitting the Waterloo, Victoria, Charing Cross/Cannon Street (which I
think would have to be considered as one terminal - via London Bridge -
to simplify things), London Bridge and Liverpool Street lines. The
others would work with one colour I think.
