I notice that it continues the recent tendency not to indicate limited
services and connections with dotted lines (or the weird double route
through Earls Court that used to be shown).

But if limited services are shown as full services, it's about time
that a connection was shown between West India and the Beckton line on
the DLR.

Not sure how long it's been that way, but I don't think it's
particularly helpful to have the dagger symbol against stations all
over the map, and then for the key to appear to say nothing but "Check
before you travel".

It took me a while to work out that the daggered sentence in the key
is actually the heading for all the information below it, rather than
an independent statement. Why check before you travel when all the
information is given immediately below, or does it just mean "check
this here information before you travel" as opposed to the usual
requirement to phone up, check bulletins etc?
