Default Rail symbol on tram destination blinds

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.


But Tramlink is not a road service, it's a rail service. District Line
trains to Wimbledon have never, AFAIK, had a BR symbol on the
destination blind, so why would you expect Tramlink to have one?


But LT/LU maps have long had an indication on their maps of an interchange
facility with the mainline railway.
