I think it's a step too far to show the future southern extension of the
ELL in that way though, surely there's a good chance people will give
the diagram a quick glance and interpret it as the line from NXG to East
Croydon is also being closed for LO conversion?


When they did much the same thing to extend the Central and Northern lines
after the war, taking over existing routes, they were just drawn as dashed
lines, without any reference to them being extant railway lines:

Although interestingly, entirely new bits of routes were shown
differently, as dotted lines. That clever Mr Beck!
