Tweak map to ID the tunnel[edit]

The map's caption is "1889 Map showing location of Snow Hill tunnel". But I see no Snow Hill Tunnel on the map. We don't know whether the tunnel is one of the red, the blue or the colorless route entities. Sure, presumably it's the red entity. But is the tunnel the entirety of the red route--which has two branches at the northern end, which crosses under the Thames, and which at the southern end extends beyond the map, thereby making the caption wrong because part of the tunnel is not shown? Or is the complement true, namely that the tunnel occupies only part of the pictured red route? If the former, expand the map and say "(in red)". If the latter, you need to circle or highlight what segment of the red route is the tunnel.

Also: Knock the word "Map" down to lowercase. In addition, article "Thameslink" capitalizes the name as "Snow Hill Tunnel".

The text explains that the tunnel ran from Farringdon to Holborn Viaduct, i.e. it's the half-purple, half-red stretch in the top section of the map. --217.140.96.140 (talk) 11:23, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The 2008 report[edit]

As the report was a decade ago - has there been an update, and is Network Rail still happy with the situation? Jackiespeel (talk) 10:48, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
