When the ELL reopens, then the section from Dalston down to New Cross
and NXG will not be part of the National Rail network (it's also not
owned by Network Rail), and the NR double-arrow symbol won't appear on
station totem signs along this stretch.


Ah, so do I take it from that that the NR symbol *has* been retained at
LO stations on the lines you mention?


No - I said it "won't appear". At least that's what the TfL design
guidelines state. None of the stations are open yet, so I couldn't say
for sure, but there was no-sign of it at Surrey Quays or Rotherhithe
stations when I passed by recently, whilst orange LO roundels were
visible.

Of course the NR symbol will appear at New Cross and NX Gate, given
the other NR services there. (And New Cross itself is to remain a
Southeastern managed station, though NXG has already transferred to LO
management.)
