Well, if Haggerston was 'pointing south' then the arrow could be said
to be pointing east - the point of course is that the sign is just a
diagrammatic representation of the routes from that station, rather
than a geographically accurate representation.

Absolutely. *It's also pretty straight between there and Dalston in
reality, unlike the diagram.

Indeed. To be fair, I think this style of signage could do with a 'you
are here' type arrow (as used to be done).


I think the current signs actually are an 'all over' sticky label
arrangements (i.e. ones that cover the entire sign) - underneath is
the permanent signage which shows both the extensions to H&I and also
to Claphan Jn via Peckham.

Ah, that makes sense.

The DLR has gone in for a similar way of doing things, except they
normally just stick a label over the unopened extension on the diagram
- which seems to be a bit of an invitation for interfering fingers to
peel them off prematurely! The LO way of doing things avoids that
(well, it mitigates against it at least).
