but this one is the closest I've seen to something
that straddles complete accuracy and cleanness of the real current
one.


In places it's great, in others (Tramlink, for example) it's not even close.


It needs a few tweaks to get it right, but idea is a good one.

eg, HEx should be shown going through Ealing Broadway (& Westbourne Pk)
If it's based in station locations, why's the gap from Covent Garden
to Leicester Square greater than the gap from Leicester Square to
Picc. Circus?
Similarly, Leyton's due north of Stratford, and Westbourne Park is
slightly north (as well as mainly west) of Royal Oak.
