Line diagram displaying National Rail line
To enable customers to find the correct platform for their required destination line diagram signs should be provided to show the stations and interchanges served by a specific platform. They must be positioned at the decision point between platforms, and ideally on the platform close to the entry point. Line diagrams at decision points have directional arrows in the header panel, which are omitted on the platform versions. Where possible network rail services should be represented as a line diagram using the same graphic principles. The graphic rules for the construction of TFL line diagrams and how specific interchanges should be represented are detailed in the TFL Line Diagram Standard. (t?.gov.uk/corporatedesign).
