These are presumably the people who after more than 10 years still think
it's "British Rail". I bet most of them don't know the TOC names either.

Maybe but on the old style route maps on the suburban services interchange
stations carry a list of other major destinations served by them. As a
result a person can look at the onboard individual maps and get a good idea
of just what "National Rail" is served there.

And some routes like the North London Line and the GOBLIN have a proper
identity and defined route yet are just labelled as "National Rail" leaving
the traveller none the wiser.

I think this will change when TfL take over in November 2007 - I would
expect to see North London Railway branding appearing using TfL's rail
roundel.
