New, for the first time, colour map showing services
• WCML cased line merges with Manchester Airport route from the north but Blackpool service at the south rather than running through • Shows reversal at Morecambe but not at Battersby • Kirkby Headbolt Lane station should be just Headbolt Lane • Angled captions - a no no (especially when not necessary as happens in a lot of cases eg Halifax, Liverpool South Parkway) • Shipley triangular station shown badly - do Bradford trains stop there? • Tiny font for walking and Metrolink walking times • TransPennine Express service awkward at Mirfield, why is Grand Central Bradford service shown as it duplicates a Northern service? • Unclear why some but not all other operator services shown • No explanation of single or cased grey lines • Northallerton junction shown wrongly • Very uneven station spacing • Over wordy text in legend • Unnecessary ‘Trains to…’ at the edges - what are they if not trains? • Inconsistent use of ‘Trains to’ - none to New Brighton and West Kirby or from Chester, Nottingham, Lincoln etc • Although it says ‘Not all stations shown’, you don’t know where this applies (you might think it applies to other operators routes but for example Barnetby to Cleethorpes Northern limited service doesn’t show all stations but TPX Stalybridge - Huddersfield shows all stations) • Newton-le-Willows wrong side of WCML, Denton wrong side of Marple line • Very indistinct arrows on Merseyrail loop • Rather thin station circles • No James Street in Liverpool (perhaps there should be Hamilton Square?) • Bad non-concentric curves at Manchester Piccadilly (three right lines) • Other operators symbols too small (Bee, Merseyrail, Tyne & Wear) • Doesn’t show limited Ince - Wigan North Western service There could me more
