It's a very light shade of grey - could do with being made slightly
darker IMO.

Surely it would be better to grey out the bits that *aren't* working!

The whole point of the map is to draw attention to the bits that aren't
working. That way, you can quickly spot if your proposed journey is
likely to be affected.

The trouble is that it does that by showing the line in its normal
appearance. There's nothing in the image to suggest that it means
brokenness.

There was a brilliant format i saw a while ago that now seems to have died
out where the broken bits were written as a stream of X marks:

We need something like that. Or putting a flashing orange border round the
broken bits or something.
