Default West Hampstead Overground

It makes you wonder.

Towards the end of their franchise Silverlink decided that the
platforms at West Hampstead NL would be better identified as Eastbound
and Westbound instead of 1 and 2. Si they changed the signs and
updated the auto-announcements but missed out on some of fthe
announcment options so a mixture of old and new references could be
heard.

Then along come London Overground who decide that platforms should be
numbered and put up new signs. Again they have updated the
announcements but not all of them so the mixture persists!

LO have also introduced their corporate identity in the form of nice
black on orange nameboards, with roundel, bit these are marked as
temporary signs so yet more money is going to be spent later.
Couldn't they live a little longer with the Silverlnk signs?

Pity they apparently can't afford to replace the illegible PIS
monitors though.
