**********
If the release time of the map you subscribed to is before the official version is released, please roll back the version, because the trains departure time passing through the border stations in the official version is 50s later than the demo version. (The official version has made a lot of changes, and maps made in the past may have various problems.)

**********

Welcome to Willesden. Today your work will be different than usual due to ongoing poor weather conditions that have caused partial track closures and changes to train schedules as follows: The Bakerloo Line is only running above ground, the North London Line between Willesden Junction and Gospel Oak is closed, some London Overground services will terminate at Hythe Road or Old Oak Common Lane, the remainder will divert via WCML to bypass the closed stations between Willesden Junction HL and Kentish Town West, therefore, West London Line will have to change direction at Old Oak Common Lane. All services to and from Euston and Kings Cross are diverted to St.Pancras International, trains on WCML will terminate at St.Pancras or Wembley Central. Freight trains have to reverse at Euroterminal to take the Dudding Hill Line→Midland Mainline→Gospel Oak-Barking Line to get to the ECML, to prevent them from blocking tracks or causing accidents.

This map is a bit tricky, so it is. You could do with spending some time wandering around the Willesden area in part 2 if you're not familiar with the layout.
People familiar with this area will quickly notice one thing - this map isn't entirely based on the present, the Hythe Road and the Old Oak Common Lane are giveaways. These stations are still under construction irl and likely will have a different layout than this map shows.
