I added 'new' waterways River Weaver (Frodsham Cut) and River Weaver (Old River), previously unmapped, which meet at Frodsham Lock:

Unfortunately I chose the directions arbitrarily, and the mismatch causes the Tube-style route map at Frodsham Lock to look rather odd.

Is it possible to correct this without deleting and re-creating Frodsham Cut?

You should just be able to edit the waterway and there is an option about which way the first lock goes.

(in hindsight I clearly should have filed this under 'Places')

I clearly didn't explain sufficiently.
The up/down direction of the lock is correct and consistent.

The problem is that it's the boundary between two waterways which both use it as the first 'place' rather than running first->last in the same direction. That leads to it appearing in the diagram twice, non-adjacent, with the same direction in screen-space representing opposite directions in the real world. This is confusing to the viewer and looks daft.


Compare the identical situation at Horseway Lock, where the directions match and so the diagrams fit together much better:

I think I need to either reverse the 'first place'<->'last place' direction of Frodsham Cut, ideally without deleting and re-entering the whole thing, or perhaps use some magic flag to alter the diagram rendering.

But the map is correct. There is no way of flipping the way the linear maps are displayed .
