PPP companies doing pointless maintenance?

Pointless maintenance seems to be what PPP is all about. The needless retiling of stations has already been discussed in a recent thread. And the other day I noticed that they had replaced all the antique roundels at Sudbury Town with new ones, despite the fact that the originals had only minor blemishes that were only visible up close. (The new ones are identical except for the text being in a slighly different font - why is this? there is no difference in readability and it's now different to all the other stations) The roundels at Sudbury Town were previously "different to all the other stations" (except possibly Arnos Grove and Boston Manor), as the lettering used a "petit serif" font designed by Percy Delf Smith and Charles Holden for use in London Transport's HQ at 55 Broadway. There is a photo of one of these Sudbury Town roundels at http://www.london-underground.de/fot...jpg&d=d.htm l Is that sign the same as the old or the new signs that you mention? -- Richard J.
