New map used on launch of new franchise by First Group.
• Tiny, difficult to see airport symbols;
• Multiple station name font sizes that don't seem to relate to the stations importance (ie Wigan is smaller than Birchwood which is smaller than Seamer);
• Warrington - Stalybridge looks like it bypasses Manchester Piccadilly;
• Not clear that Victoria is part of Manchester;
• Captions are ranged left or right when centring would be more appropriate;
• Some stations have suffixes (Wigan North Western, Liverpool South Parkway) while some don't (Lime Street, Glasgow Central).

They've gone geographic.
And added smaller stations that hardly see any trains. In a tiny point size that takes a lot of zooming in on a computer - unreadable on paper. For example Rotherham sees one train a day in one direction. Without complete analysis I also notice they've left out Althorpe.
