Figure 6. Structure of flows at Inline graphic and Inline graphic of the total flow.

Figure 6

When considering the most important flows from stations to centers such their sum represents Inline graphic of the total flow in the network, we observe sources (represented as squares) with outdegree Inline graphic such as London Bridge, Stratford, or Waterloo connecting to three different centers (represented as circles), as well as sources with Inline graphic (eg. Victoria) and Inline graphic (eg. Elephant and Castle). We also show how the pattern of flows is constructed iteratively when we go to larger fraction of the total flow (from Inline graphic shown in black to Inline graphic shown in red). We represent in red the new sources, centers and connections. The new sources connect to the older centers (eg. West End, City, etc) and the existing sources (eg. Victoria) connect to new centers (eg. Northern stations, Museums, and Parliament).
