Redesign of 'Line Map'

From my initial research into pre-existing rail-partnerships, I found that for a diagram for the entire line, a more simplistic style was favoured. When browsing an entire line, geographical accuracy is not the main priority compared to the ease of usage, especially to appeal to a larger audience who may be immediately turned away by a very detailed map before exploring the idea further. 

This map is used by the Gloucestershire Community Rail Partnership scheme as an overview of their entire system. This map works so well due to the almost invisible but purposeful juxtaposition of colours and stylised circles to represent the communities scheme, bigger towns and surrounding areas. I think that a similar style to this map would work greatly with the Worcestershire Lines as an overview to create perspective of the rail trails by showing all of the places you can visit/explore. Sub-route maps would be more detailed so you can see a better understanding of geographical information to ensure those planning on setting out rambling a greater database of what to expect on their journey.
