This is what happens on the Parisian map, I think. The thin black
tramlines could be kept for longer distance stopping services.


How workable is that for lines that potentially serve three or more
different terminals? (e.g. Epsom to Ashtead which Livingstone seems to
want to get his claws into.)


Seems to work for Barking to Aldgate East, Paddington to Baker Street,
etc.

I looked into this when i was planning my map, although i can't lay my
hands on the post now, and i'm pretty sure there are no lines in London
with more than three termini at the end. I think there might even be only
one with three or something. Bear in mind that i count London Bridge,
Charing Cross and Cannon Street as one terminus!
