Would you be completely pure about it and consider them to be Charing

All services to/through London Bridge should be the same colour, since
it's easy enough to change there.

Yes. I mentioned that in passing in my list. King's Cross and Moorgate
lines will also be the same colour.

Also (did someone already ask?) what colour will you use when trains
travel from one terminus to another, eg London Bridge to Victoria by a
number of different routes at various times, currently two main ones?

The SR one I posted yesterday has parallel lines in both colours.

Hmm. Don't think i like that; it implies there are two services on the
line, one going to each terminus, when really, there's only one service,
that goes to both. My immediate reaction is to treat such services as
orbital, and colour them the same as the NLL etc; whether this is right
depends on how they're used, really. Another option would be to use a line
of alternating colour, as on the old Railway Clearing House maps, eg:

However, then we're back to looking vile.
