 Why remove them ? Just adjust the stylesheet, so they aren't rendered as
 prominently, I.E. lighter gray than today for the underground segments
 of the line. Or in the case of specialtymaps, not rendered at all for
 the underground segments of the line.

 Personally I find it beneficiary to have them on the default [EMAIL 
 PROTECTED] map
 layer. They ensure that the map is more complete and usable for everyday
 navigation IMHO. At least here in Copenhagen.

When looking at the underground in london, I'm seeing things like:

* St Pancras underground station not connected to any railway lines
* Section of the Circle line missing
etc.

...that are very obvious from SteveC2's specialist tube map[1], and on tools 
like Subway[2], but don't seem to have been noticed during all the time that 
they were visible on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
