Which, unlike the results you get from ...

Googling for 'geographical tube map'

Includes National Rail lines.

The thing about these geographical maps is that, like the way that the
bus maps show the railway routes, they show the geographical locations
of the stations, which are of interest to real publics, but then draw
any old line they like between them which, in the case of the bus map,
avoids conflict with other features.

For enthusiasts who want to know where the lines actually go, they are
worse than diagrams, because they imply geographical accuracy which
isn't there.

Actually, as Simon mentioned, he's drawn the actual routes of the lines as
well as he can. I recall that in his initial version, he did just draw any
old lines, and there was due complaint, which he has evidently taken on
board.
