Below are some modifications I have suggested to the Dartford Loop Line route map.
London Bridge edit
This modification displays the platform interchange between the terminal and through-lines at London Bridge station.

Lewisham area edit
These modifications were the main reason this page exists. I wasn't happy with the original layout, as it showed some incorrect links. These show a varying degree of detail; most are probably excessively detailed for the article.
Fundamentally, these don't show the DLR station. In the context of the Dartford Loop Line article, it's not really necessary; the DLR logo next to Lewisham's name is sufficient.
| A highly simplified, but nonetheless correct, representation of the Lewisham connections. |

| Lewisham shown as a 'vee' station, with each platform connected to the correct lines. |

| This is where detail goes beyond what's practical, or even relevant, to the article. This shows Lewisham as a branch of the SEML (which it is really), and the line to bypass St Johns.
The thing is, New Cross can also be bypassed, but isn't shown as such. |

| Depicting individual links more accurately, taking care of exactly where the points occur on each line. The row below St Johns isn't ideal, but does depict all the possible connections from the track layout. Many trains use these links too: some go direct to St Johns from Hither Green, and most trains via Lewisham bypass St Johns (but rarely via the Nunhead link flyover, though it does happen!). |

Hither Green edit
Like Lewisham above, this shows Hither Green as a vee station.
