[OC] Re-creating the London Tube map in progress, but I'm bad at this job

I had decided to remake the London Tube map (made with draw.io or diagrams.net) where it should only include the Underground, Overground, Crossrail (Elizabeth Line), DLR, Trams, and IFS Cable Car that are part of TfL while excluding Thameslink, including the following changes:

  • Making sure it is well-simplified, cleaner, while keeping lines and stations geographically relative and remaining practical as a metro system map.
  • Has the Thames the only background element.
  • Explicitly showing out-of-station interchanges and gate-free interchanges.
  • Rework on the line-style of Trams and DLR (so to make sure they're not the same as Overground and Elizabeth Line)
  • Forcefully turning the Circle Line more closer into a rectangle/trapezium/(you get the idea) and less like a irregular shape.
  • Straightening some lines, including the Thames.
  • Reworked on Paddington, Earl's Court*, and Euston interchanges. (* For Earl's Court, some trains from Edgware Road does go to Ealing Broadway than just Wimbledon, except they are limited to late train services. I just checked and realised I messed up.)
  • Having Kings Cross St. Pancras showing two National Rail symbols (for two separate rail stations) and an Eurostar logo for international services.
  • If the connected National Rail station has a different name, it has its own empty station circle.

However, I think I messed up for the east of the Thames (DLR area), but I'm still thinking of a way on how to fix it.

And I'm basically destroying the London Tube style with this one.
