Agreed. For a new service it wouldn't have hurt to have its own diagram.
Indeed, on a quick scroll through a few hundred pages of it, I didn't
see any diagrams.

I disagree - at the risk of repeating what I said in a post upthread,
the ELL will be a bit like a branch line off the LB&SCR main line (and
will be thoroughly intermeshed with Southern trains in providing the
local service down that line).

Also, I don't think Paul Scott was advocating a separate diagram as
such - just for the existing diagram to be formatted in the
conventional way that makes the most sense.
