Default Rail symbol on tram destination blinds

Alan (in Brussels) wrote:
On a recent trip by Tramink, I was struck by the fact that the former
'double arrow' symbol still widely used to identify National Rail
stations does not appear on the trams' relevant destination blinds,
eg Elmers End, Beckenham Junc. and Wimbledon. Here in Belgium, the
corresponding symbol provides a convenient way of emphasising the way
road and rail services are integrated. Is this an example of the 'not
invented here' syndrome, or is there some other simple explanation?


Simple. There's no modal integration.
