It's very dishonest. A casual glance at the map suggests that there are 4
trains an hour from Slade Green to Dartford, but on closer examination the
key manages to avoid actually stating that the coloured lines imply a 4
trains an hour service.

Similarly New Malden-Surbiton.

Either St Johns to Lewisham or St Johns to Hither Green (or both) must
lack
4 trains an hour as well.

I think Selhurst - East Croydon also doesn't have 4 trains an hour.

Strawberry Hill has 4 trains an hour to Waterloo (by two different
routes),
but is not marked as such, so there is not even consistency in the
approach
they have taken.

Hmm, and so they exclude Greenhithe's Connex metro station even though it's
just a few stops on from Dartford and services the country's largest
shopping centre.

If they really want to promote rail usage, it's just so painfully obvious
that one of the major problems to tackle is the state of most of the "metro"
trains - with their scratched windows, graffiti, generally grubby state, and
cramped seating.

I have to use rail to get to/from work but I would not dream of using rail
to get anywhere for a leisure/off-peak journey - it is a squalid and
unpleasant environment plagued by a lack of basic train cleaning, graffiti
and vandalism.
