Geoff's latest video shows the signs over the platform screen doors at TCR.

There is a wheelchair symbol at Paddington but not at Bond Street. I
wonder why?
Yes, that is odd. But what does the wheelchair symbol mean?

It probably means that it's a door that leads to awheelchair space on the
long train.


If it means you can exit (to the street) on a wheelchair, surely that's
the case for all Elizabeth line stations, certainly those in central London?

It's on a PED to the train. It says nothing about exit to the street.

If it means that you can also change to other lines there, how do they
expect you to transfer to the westbound District at Paddington? I'm not
aware of any lift being constructed there.

That's not what ir means.


Maybe, but you haven't offered any explanation as to why the symbol is
against Paddington but not Bond Street.


Yes I have: read my post.



That display also includes "Welcome to the Elizabeth Line" (upper-case L!)

Isn't that the current name of the network?


My point was that the upper-case L conflicts with TfL's usual house style.


No it doesn't. The Elizabeth Line is the name of a network, just like
London Overground.



How is the Elizabeth line a network and, say, the Northern line isn't?
Crossrail will be a network if they ever get round to building Crossrail
2, using Overground as a precedent. Incidentally TfL don't refer to the
Overground Line.
