They'd just expect a financial consideration for doing so.


The funny thing about that station sign is that it's plain wrong,
quite apart from the font. It's a modified UndergrounD roundel, with
the station name instead of UndergrounD (in the wrong font). Actual LT
station roundels from 1940 look quite different, and can cope with
longer or shorter station names.


I don't know what sort of sign you are describing, but Southgate (I think)
had a roundel outside with the station name instead of "Underground".
