The tube is generally fairly easy to understand, it is colour
coded and there is coherent signage and trains run frequently on
almost all the network every day of the week. It is no wonder then
that politicians and some constituents spend their time going "we want
a tube line, we want a tube line" even if the real answer is "we want
a better rail service, we want a better rail service". The second
chant from politicians is "we want the Overground, we want the
Overground" but all that is is a reasonably frequent, competently
operated rail service that is well presented and well branded to the
public alongside the tube.

The simple answer to this is to ban the public display of "tube only"
maps, and insist they are replaced by "London Connections" maps.
