The designers didn't draw the lines, their "join the dots" software
did.


Hard to believe that given the routes chosen.


The presence of a line on the base map doesn't mean there is a passenger
service, and on it's own can't be used for a journey planner. Google don't
have access to timetable or detailed mapping data for the Undergound so they
have created an overlay that connects the stations for journey planning
purposes. It fits that purpose very well. This is very evident between
Richmond and Gunnersbury, where the Overground follows the line on the base
map but the Underground doesn't.

What are you finding so hard to believe?
