If you click on a LUL/LOROL/DLR station, all three networks are displayed,
in line colours. The lines which serve the clicked station are highlighted
(although branched lines are not dealt with particularly intelligently).. The
same is true of Paris, Copenhagen, San Francisco etc, but not Manchester or
Glasgow.


That's rather cool. Although the Overground's a bit broken, in that
the lines don't follow the actual train tracks on the map, and they
add a rather surprising service from South Hampstead to Caledonian
Road non-stopping Camden Road:http://bit.ly/bnyZ4


None of the lines seem to follow the tracks; they just join the
stations, often in a really bizarre way (like the Metropolitan cutting
through Regents Park).
