Nice but not very readable due to the darkness of the orange. Why
not just stick an orange stripe on the bottom until ready to replace
them with full-size enamel roundels, I wonder?


They probably wanted to obliterate the Silverlink green and purple
completely. That would probably have covered half the signs anyway,
including part of the station name if a simple orange strip had been
used?


Why were the new signs not ready? LOROL was inevitable months before the
handover.
