The problem is that the real world is not as simple as the London Underground, 
the big big issue is to define the routes. Really not easy as a route is a 
combination of start, destination and stations served. Something even a geek 
like me finds bewildering if I was to try to map rail routes.

Your average passenger just knows where a train is going, or at least where 
they are going.

Trains are regularly split/merged/reversed on routes. A train to a destination 
can be on one of many routes, some may only operate weekly despite appearing to 
most as a regular service.
