When looking at the underground in london, I'm seeing things like:

* St Pancras underground station not connected to any railway lines
* Section of the Circle line missing
etc.

...that are very obvious from SteveC2's specialist tube map[1], and on tools 
like Subway[2], but don't seem to have been noticed during all the time that 
they were visible on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
