This is what happens on the Parisian map, I think. The thin black
tramlines could be kept for longer distance stopping services.

How workable is that for lines that potentially serve three or more
different terminals? (e.g. Epsom to Ashtead which Livingstone seems to
want to get his claws into.)

Seems to work for Barking to Aldgate East, Paddington to Baker Street,
etc.

I looked into this when i was planning my map, although i can't lay my
hands on the post now, and i'm pretty sure there are no lines in London
with more than three termini at the end. I think there might even be only
one with three or something. Bear in mind that i count London Bridge,
Charing Cross and Cannon Street as one terminus!

It's the RATP's Ile-de-France map that's like that, with a different colour
for the lines feeding into Gares du Nord, de l'Est, de Lyon, Montparnasse,
and St-Lazare. It also manages to fit in on one map, with all stations
marked, the RER lines, the Métro and the tram routes, plus the boundaries of
the 8 zones. And a night bus map for Paris. And then there's the back of
the map ...

Exactly. That's what I want. Tom, you got that? Won't take you too long,
will it?

Oh, a matter of moments. I'm going to eat some tinned spaghetti and a
packet of skittles, puke on a sheet of A3, and post a photo of it.

I could send you a plate of lamb and apricot curry if that would assist

As Innes Ferguson, TFL design director said at the LT Museum on
24/9/7, the "Overground" brand made [sense] since as "you
wouldn't expect to see 'Underground' on a roundel outside a
station in Brighton".

Nor would you at Amersham, 147 m (490 ft) above sea level, but people
seem to have accepted it for many years.

?

It was an example of a station with surface-level platforms so far above sea
level that that being on the "Underground" is arguably more bizarre than
Brighton being similarly branded.

All "Underground" stations have surface buildings which are above sea
level, AFAIK.

Regent's Park and Notting Hill Gate have no surface buildings.

Considering the colours, might be more appropriate for doing a London
Overground map.
