And how would you handle Victoria-London Bridge services?


This is a tough one. The two best options i've come up with are to colour
it as an orbital route and to draw it as two lines, one in Victoria colour
and one in London Bridge colour. The latter is unwieldy but does convey
the information; the former is simpler but confusing.

Good point. The off-peak Victoria-London Bridge service via Crystal
Palace can become a London Bridge-London Bridge service in the rush-
hours. How would that be shown on the map?

And it doesn't run at all on Sundays. How would the map cope with that?


The same way it deals with other cases of services varying over time - by
not showing it. Or, if someone find the energy, with an annotation, a
dagger mark, or a dashed section of line.
