One suspects that purple is the new Crossrail Color. Red for
Underground, orange for Overground and purple for London's RER.

But Overground, like Crossrail, *is* an S-Bahn, RER or whatever you
call it. To me, Crossrail should have used the orange roundel, not had
a new one.

The Overground WAS a local, largely, orbital network for Londoners.

One radial and one circumferential route available to anyone with the
right ticket.

That of course has gone to pot with the latest takeovers of the
suburban network.

Crossrails reach from London's core to the market towns and garden
cities in neighboring counties.

So outside Stratford there would be three roundels - "Underground",
"Overground" and "Elizabeth line". That would be weird - it instantly
puts the question "Why doesn't the Underground roundel say Central
line" in your head.

You forgot the Jubilee Line, DLR and Abellio GA.

What roundels are outside Wimbledon, which has Underground*, Tramlink,
and National Rail (genuine question).

Nope deliberately BR, NR appropriated it later.


arrows and Underground.

Nope deliberately BR, NR appropriated it later.

It _was_ BR, it _now_ indicates NR services as per the question posed.
If the signs on the front of Wimbledon station are the same age as the
station name then the font of the latter suggests they are post-BR.

Unless one has gone up since the Googlewagen passed last October,
there is no totem at the front of Wimbledon station thus no indication
in that style for Tramlink. None of the images thrown up by Google
(except for some from Southern Railway days) seem to go as far back as
NSE due to the lack of R+W+B elements.

Yes I now, Recliner snipped my derogatory epithet which was applied to
the original logo :-)
