Good point. I thought newly fitted signs were on white backgrounds and that anything not in the standard font was older, and probably much much older - before today's font was standardised.

I wrongly assumed that when these things are got round to, that the old style was being replaced with the white one.

It seems to break all their own rules to fit the old style ones! There's loads of instructions on what is allowed for signage, and only one page for Heritage Stations - http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloa...04.pdf#page=63

Until I looked just now at a bunch of stations on Google Streetview, I didn't realise how few white ones there actually a I could think of Turnham Green and Hillingon (http://goo.gl/maps/Q3l9j, http://goo.gl/maps/7S7D7) but couldn't even find any others when looking! There are many more of the 3D ones on sticks than I realised.

Yes, they've been fitting them for a few years now.
