award the next concession. As far as ticketing, timetabling etc. is
concerned, LO are still part of the National Rail systems.

But not, it appears, as far as branding goes - unless the example I
cited was a mistake.


But that's a pretty minor point, as you can also see maps, on
Underground trains, where interchange is shown with both NR and LO.
The approach on the train maps generally seems to be that interchange
with LO is a special case, as this is a TfL company and the double
arrow symbol is only definitely used when there is interchange with
another TOC as well. But there doesn't seem to be a consistent rule.
