I'd be tempted to go for a four map approach -

- tube map which just shows LU and DLR.
- TfL rail services map which shows LU, DLR, Overground, Crossrail,
other devolved rail services
- an updated version of the Oyster rail services map which shows all
rail services but with a focus on the terminal they run from.
- a full Rail services map which shows the service patterns run on the
respective networks. This would not be a simple map but it would at
least show the service structure and who runs it. This will be
important with the multiple service patterns through Crossrail and
Thameslink and the residual SWT, Southern and South Eastern routes.

It is debateable whether you would publish all 4 in paper format but
making them available on the web should not be unduly difficult.


Would No2 serve any real transport (rather than political) purpose,
other than perhaps to reassure north Londoners venturing south that
there are some trains which they might be able to understand?
