LOROL's contract is over, it will be up to TfL to award the next
concession. As far as ticketing, timetabling etc. is concerned,
LO are still part of the National Rail systems.
But not, it appears, as far as branding goes - unless the example I
cited was a mistake.
Out of curiosity, is LOROL a member or ATOC?
Yes - see:
