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!

They did distinguish lines being electrified from new construction,
though. The most annoying bit is ignoring the District East of Bow Road
while still including Aylesbury, Watford Junction and Ongar.
