the bilingual signs at Southall (English and some kind of
Arabic-looking script) were a nice touch


I don't think it's Arabic: I think it's Urdu.

It looks nothing like Arabic or Urdu; it's (like the street signs in
Brick Lane) Bengali.

My Sikh coworker insisted it was Punjabi when I showed him a photo of
the Southall station sign last year. (Of course, they may have changed
it since I stopped commuting past there, in mid-2003...)
