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.


I've shown you this here before, but the old Southern map does the
latter:

Ah yes. That doesn't look too bad, actually. At least for the inner SLL -
there's this outer SLL now too, CJ, Balham, Streatham Hill, Crystal
Palace, Sydenham, London Bridge; showing that on the old map would add a
black line from Clapham Junction to West Norwood ish, and a red line from
Crystal Palace up to London Bridge. On the plus side, my map would show
the line down through Brockley as one line, since i'm going to treat
Charing Cross and London Bridge as one.
