I notice that Southbury station, on the line to Cheshunt which the
Overground took over a few months ago, has a new back-to-back roundel on
the front of the station. It looks a bit like this



but without the stalk, so it's just sticking out from the side of the
building. It's orange and blue and has OVERGROUND (or is it Overground?)
written in a noticeably larger font than this one, and it looks rather
splendid.

Kind of like

Precisely, thanks.


This is great corporate image artwork. Sadly, it is on a terrible
example of urban redevelopment

Take a look at:

Wapping Station and the surrounding buildings fit the same foot print
as their predecessors. But, they are no denser or higher. Just two
more floors on each building could have added so much more work or
living space.


Isn't the station the same building with new cladding?
