One suspects that purple is the new Crossrail Color.

It was half purple back in 2013:

The name change hasn't changed the colours. The 2013 roundel is exactly the
same s the new one, apart from the name change. The bar is always blue in
the roundel.

True, perhaps to distinguish itself from the Underground version, which has
more or less the same red ring?

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.
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.


Which garden cities are those?

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).

The main facade has the indecisive arrow and a generic Underground roundel

I was going to say I thought it was different from that, but it turns
out that was Kensal Green.

BR

arrows and Underground.

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 :-

(The LNER's successors' signs were similarly positioned)
