I'm not sure... calling one "Trafalgar Square" when the other isn't
(i.e. as it was pre-Jubilee) might result in a Covent Garden scenario
where tourists want to go to Trafalgar Square and so make an
unnecessary change to the Bakerloo line from the Northern.


Indeed. This is where a diagrammatic map breaks down, along with the
idea that an interchange is universal (all ways to all ways).

It might be better to show these sort of station groups in a
non-diagrammatic way, to make it clear that:

a) You don't have to travel to the named LUL station to get to a
particular same-named place or NR station.

b) You *can* interchange, but it involves significant walking.

This is already the case at Paddington where the H&C station has not been
shown as an interchange with Circle/District/Bakerloo for a few years now.
