And in any case, the names of the Underground lines haven't changed

Not that LUL have ever been particularly competent at maintaining their
signage, in any case. There are still plenty of signs around the system
referring to British Rail (defunct 1996), although AFAIK the last of the
Network SouthEast (defunct 1994) signs have now disappeared.

There is rather a lot of inconsistency in the LU directional signage
to National Rail stations. E.g. I've seen:

"National Rail"
"Trains"
"Rail"
"Mainline Trains"
"British Rail" (!)
