And the colours or rings are too similar.
Yeah , I'm of the same opinion. I said in another post the other
week that there are plenty of 2 colour combinations they could
have chosen - choosing something so similar to the Underground
colours was just daft and will lead to confusion.
Since they are both rail systems I don't think it matters a whole
lot. I still have mixed feelings about a separate "Overground"
Identity. Much of the Metropolitan Line is on the surface. There are
parts of the Overground that run in tunnel.
In a sense the similarities of the Underground and Overground
identities just emphasises their togetherness, as opposed to their
separation. But I will say your previous comments on this did give me
pause for thought.
Overall I am happy to see these developments. Today's system is a far
cry the one that I first commuted on in 1969. My daily journey was
from Surbiton to Regent Street and back. That journey was fine, and
very reasonable. But as I explored London and found gems like the
North London Line, I found the system to be uncoordinated. Thru
ticketing was not always available. Some routes were only known to
their regular users. It was almost as if BR wanted to keep them
hidden!
I think that's prettty much the case where the NLL was concerned.
