more information in the Corporate Design section of the TfL website.


And the 'London Overground Signs Standard' is especially enlightening,

Not quite every station. St Pancras has only HS1 logos, not a BR

Nor do stations served only by the UndergrounD. The logo is used only
for the 'National Rail' network. At privatisation this was easy to
define as all lines owned by Railtrack. Not so simple now.


So why isn't used at St Pancras International? It is served by two
'National Rail' TOCs, East Midlands Trains and First Capital Connect.


Well crumbs I don't know! However my statement that the logo is used
only for the National Rail network still holds true - I haven't heard
of any non national-rail stations where it is used only of some NR
stations where for some reason it isn't.

Err, no.

e.g. Harrow-on-the-Hill had a double arrow logo outside at the time of
privatisation (and still does).

East Croydon isn't listed on page 29, but I see what you mean. Check
the station between Anerley and West Croydon.

Yes, yes, seen it now. "Northwood Junction" indeed.

explain.
