I have created a supplementary figure.

Aha, the solutions. Now I have a Christmas quiz for a bunch of graphic design students. Excellent.

Liverpool: many of us still call it Merseyrail despite the attempts at rebranding.

Birmingham-Wolverhampton has a Metro as well which I could not see in a quick scan. Officially called Midland Metro

The new extension into the centre of Birmingham will be quite cosmopolitan when it actually gets finished.

Merseyrail is still called that, this article is more to do with using an "M" symbol rather than the name itself.

Midland Metro uses an "n" in common with other Network West Midlands stuff, so doesn't qualify for this chart. http://www.networkwestmidlands.com/

OK, your list, your choice (shrugs).

[Just imagine what would have happened if it was Chester that became economically important 150 years ago rather than Liverpool? Deesiderail, or DRail]

Thank you.

Am I being to harsh in accusing The Atlantic/CityLab from clearly not putting the reader first when they created this article?

FWIW, I think the one marked "Genoa" looks the same in all of italy.

EDIT: ok, "most" of it.
