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). BR arrows and Underground. * Rather than District Line. |

It is not a TfL property thus not guaranteed to match TfL's rules. Richmond station isn't either but it has got a totem outside which from top to bottom shows - double arrow, Overground, Underground, station name; IIRC the last item is also non-conforming to TfL style. LU itself doesn't seem to get it right every time - the double arrow has disappeared from the south side of Harrow Met. station**; it looks like the big window (which had sections missing where the LNER and later the BR badges fitted in) has been replaced at some time with more modern materials. The "repro" totem out on Lowlands Road is similarly devoid (if they were doing the job properly it should have an LNER symbol below) but the totem in College Road is conforming with an Underground roundel over the double arrows. **Older view :- http://www.urban75.net/forums/thread....208665/page-5 (The LNER's successors' signs were similarly positioned) * Rather than District Line. |

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. arrows and Underground. |
