Its a pity that the M1 Metro line has to take that little realignment jog at Cherrybrook, because all the other Metro lines are so straight the Marrickville to Bankstown section is very impressively handled. Three-and-a-half-stars!

Were working to restore it. Itd be nice if the legend for the light rail could be incorporated with the rest of the map information down the right hand side of the diagram: it always looks a little disjointed when there are legends scattered around the map, filling up empty space.
