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).

I wonder if it's been done manually, because the treatment at various
places isn't consistent. Sometimes they "fit" a curve (eg Circle near
Farringdon and Barbican, where you can actually see from the photography
where the line should go) and sometimes there's just a sharp angle (eg
Circle at Tower Hill).

Some, (eg Angel) suffer from the station building not being above the
railway line. iirc the track runs under Pentonville and City roads.

Ealing Common to Ealing Broadway is the best example of track that most
"geographic" maps struggle with. And this one is no exception :)

True. All the Underground lines round my way are actually underground
and hence don't show up on the normal maps, so I only spotted it for
LO...
