2016, Basil Jet remarked:

So outside Stratford there would be three roundels - "Underground",
"Overground" and "Elizabeth line". That would be weird - it instantly
puts the question "Why doesn't the Underground roundel say Central
line" in your head.

You forgot the Jubilee Line, DLR and Abellio GA.

What roundels are outside Wimbledon, which has Underground*, Tramlink,
and National Rail (genuine question).

BR

koffNR/koff


Nope deliberately BR, NR appropriated it later.

It _was_ BR, it _now_ indicates NR services as per the question posed.
If the signs on the front of Wimbledon station are the same age as the
station name then the font of the latter suggests they are post-BR.

Unless one has gone up since the Googlewagen passed last October,
there is no totem at the front of Wimbledon station thus no indication
in that style for Tramlink. None of the images thrown up by Google
(except for some from Southern Railway days) seem to go as far back as
NSE due to the lack of R+W+B elements.


arrows and Underground.
