Interchanges are marked by circles and white line interconnectors and station names are all printed in black. There are no geographical features shown on this map. Railways under construction are represented as dotted lines as used on the Hampstead & Highgate line between Euston and Camden Town and the extension from Golders Green to Edgware.
