Unlike in the official version, different branches of the London Overground Network are now in different colours, although annoyingly the original east london line is nither called that nor orange. The Northern Line is also split into the the Northern line and the Edgeware Line Some handy interchanges are highlighted and the correct geographical relationship between some stations is shown. Also stations close to each other where the ticketing system allows passengers to make interchanges are grouped together, like Euston and Euston Square.

Only point of contention is that it's missing the Zones information, so that people are aware of the ticketing costs.

The SVG is superb, you can select different lines and they're highlighted.

With the Northern Line being split, though, it isn't clear that I can take a single train from High Barnet to Charing Cross, or from Edgware to Bank.

  Yes splitting the Northern line like that is not at all helpful; there was a plan a few years back to smooth the flow by making all Edgeware trains go via Bank and High Barnet via Charing Cross (or vice-versa, I forget), but it seems to have withered on the vine.

    As far as I am aware TfL still desperately wants to do this -- the Northern line is one of the busiest on the system and the switching south of Camden Town is a chokepoint. The problem is that if that were done today, Camden Town would instantly become a major interchange station. It's a small, crowded station and in no way could cope with the added load. Ten years ago there was a plan to rebuild it a massive new station along a whole block of the high street, but it had too much opposition. The last I heard is that they are going forward with a plan that's less disruptive at street-level. No construction has started yet, so check back in a decade.
