You might find it easier to save the save it to your hard drive and use
a preview or image viewer there.
Mostly I like it, but some things are deplorable.
The East London line through Whitechapel and the line through Cambridge
Heath are the same colour and almost co-linear, so the eye follows them
as a single line.
Similarly, the Overground lines through Camden Road and South Hampstead
acquire an imaginary Primrose Hill connection if you aren't careful.
The Chiltern line is one of the lowest layers and the Met is one of the
highest layers, causing odd effects where crossing other lines at
Northwick Park and West Hampstead.
The Southeastern services through Crofton Park are missing.
But the portrayal of the West Croydon - Tulse Hill area is an
improvement over the standard LC map... even if three lines of nearly
the same colour crossing over the same spot just south of Selhurst is a
complete disaster.
The route shown from Blackfriars to East Croydon, via a link bypassing
London Bridge, is currently fiction! Avid readers of this map will be
surprised when they pass through Elephant, Herne Hill, Tulse Hill and
Crystals, plus innumerable intermediate stations.
I disagree strongly with your sentiment. If Thameslink trains run
non-stop from Blackfriars to East Croydon, then it doesn't matter much
where the line is shown. Since they are planned to call at London
Bridge, the portrayal used is probably the best one.
The present representation is misleading, which should never be
countenanced. I admit that the possible effect on a passenger is only
panic that they might be on the wrong train, not that they are actually
neing carried to the wrog place. The representation of non-stop routes
on this map is alongside their stopping counerparts; whay make one
exception?
