It could well be merged into the Overground brand.

It's going to be called Crossrail. It has it's own purple roundel.

(The interim "TfL Rail" brand was created for the Shenfield service
before it later becomes Crossrail, rather than it also being branded
London Overground.)


Meanwhile Crossrail is not bad.

Thameslink has clung on, despite attempts to name it stupid things like
First Capital Connect.

Thameslink remained the name of part of the FCC service.

Yes. Boris had been publicly suggesting that it be named after HM for some
time, and perhaps he prevailed in an internal debate?

I suspect that the Crossrail roundel will appear outside stations.

The Elizabeth Line roundel may or may not be used on the outside of
trains, will probably be used on the line guides inside trains, might be
used on posters about engineering work but that's about it. IMO.

Surely the roundel will also be used on platforms used exclusively by
Elizabeth Line trains. Quite what will be used on parts of the route
still used by TOC's trains I do not know? Maybe they will have TOC
Name boards, or TfL Roundels, or both.

Or abortions like at Cheshunt where the Overground platform has TfL signs
but the rest has TOC signs.

If you mean the big roundels on the walls, they will be in Crossrail
colours but will say the station name.

I imagine Harrow-On-The-Hill will answer all your questions. AFAIK all
platforms at minor stations on the TfL Rail route have TfL Rail roundels
now, including the platforms rarely used by TfL trains.

What happens at shared stations today. For example Wimbledon.

There aren't any shared platforms at Wimbledon. Elizabeth Line trains will
share platforms with GWR trains.

Marked in the style of the managing TOC/organisation IIRC thus e.g. LU
roundels on DC line stations that never see an Underground train.

For example Wimbledon.

South West Trains on that basis which seems to be confirmed by the
photographs in the NR information pages. I can't see anything
obviously "bar and circle" on platforms 1-4 (apart from the 4" or so
badges on other signs) but the images aren't ideally positioned to
show any Underground station name signs if they were in the usual
position.
