Nice but not very readable due to the darkness of the orange. Why not
just stick an orange stripe on the bottom until ready to replace them
with full-size enamel roundels, I wonder?

They probably wanted to obliterate the Silverlink green and purple

including part of the station name if a simple orange strip had been used?

If memory serves, the "full" rebranding exercise isn't due to take place
until the ELLX (Phase 1) is ready to open, at which point they'll do it
as a "big bang".
