Hi there, please could you have a go making some changes to this template? I have tried but can't work it out because of the complexity. The required changes to make it accurate are as follows:
There isn't any crossover between HS1 and the MML as it goes into St Pancras so they should just be two parallel lines
The Copenhagen Tunnel is not shown; it should be on the top right just after the two routes merge
HS1 doesn't become a tunnel until after it has gone over the ECML (middle right), as otherwise that would be very weird; it's just a normal bridge
The whole thing is very compact and the text is practically overlapping on my screen.
If you could try make any improvements that would be amazing. Kind regards, JacobTheRox(talk|contributions) 09:34, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
Talk page lurker here. @JacobTheRox: I've taken the liberty of numbering your points to make replying easier; I hope that's ok.
{{Routemap}} diagrams are meant to be compact so as to minimise intrusion in articles.
1. Google maps shows a link between the two: . If you disagree, then can you be more precise in what you're referring to?
2. Copenhagen Tunnel shows the tunnels just north of Copenhagen Junction. Adding them would increase the diagram's size. Is there a reason to do this?
3. The HS1 bridge over the ECML is a tube connected to the tunnel-proper; do you have a suggestion on how to depict that on the diagram?
4. The standard {{BSsplit}} template is used to split long text on some lines so as not to make the diagram too wide. I agree that two consecutive lines using such split text can appear crammed. If you have a suggestion on how to present the same information differently but without taking up an unreasonable amount of space, then feel free to suggest it and I'll have a go at implementing it. Note that making the text smaller is not really an option. Bazza7 (talk) 13:14, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
Hi! It appears that tracks at Central station are in the wrong direction in the detailed diagram: tracks use right-hand running, and not left-hand running.
