train map

Rail network chart

A train map is a diagram showing railway routes, stations, and connections within a transit system or region.

The most famous example is the London Underground map, whose simplified geographic style has influenced transit maps worldwide.

Train maps prioritize clarity over accurate geography, distorting distances to make routes and transfer points easy to follow: I checked the train map to find the quickest route to the airport.
