All this 'new' LO station name signage involves is just vinyl stickers
stuck on to the pre-existing signs.

As per the NLL, this is just the temporary phase - the proper LO platform
roundels (LU like) or the alternative 'white with orange border' signs (as
seen at Clapham Junction or Stratford island platforms) *will probably not
be fitted for a while yet.

Do you mean this type?

He does I think, yes.

See these examples from Clapham Jn:

I took one there too! Also seen that style at Barking (GOBLIN only)
and Stratford, as you mentioned:http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...n_Overground_n...

Must admit I'm not entirely au fait with the logic of having temporary
sign styles which are then replaced with a different permanent style
at a later date - though I think it's to do with whether stations are
up to the requisite LO standard is it not?

I haven't been on the NLL or GOBLIN since the temporary signage went
up, what's the signage like there?

Because the one example in this style at NXG was replaced with the
black/orange style!

Though that one example was nowt other than a vinyl sticker stuck over
the old (but not old really) green Southern nameboard, which was still
quite visible in the photo you linked to earlier:http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...tation_signage...

Yes on reflection it does look quite obvious on the orange vinyls,
especially in strong sunshine!- Hide quoted text -
