Railtrack PLC went into railway administration in 2001 and was replaced by Network Rail. -- Colin Rosenstiel I know this - my post (and the reply from asdf) was referring to the time of privatisation. |

Stuart J Thank you for your clarification. I stand corrected. Best wishes. |

If a LO station only has LO services then it will eventually not have
the NR Double Arrow logo, there are some expections to this. There is more information in the Corporate Design section of the TfL website. Ah, my apologise. However, I don't think I like this. Assuming that National Rail railcards are still vaild along with National Rail ticketing and information, to not have the National Rail symbol strikes me as odd. Best Wishes, LEWIS |

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. With the exception of St Pancras though, non NR station have an alternative logo which convers what sort of train you are likely to get from there, and how it is different to a NR station. The news that St P doesn't have it is a great shame IMO - but not surprising. Signage is to St Pancras International what Etch-A-Sketch is to art. LEWIS |

The TfL 'Corporate Design' stuff explains that it's only the Dalston Junction - Surrey Quays section (previously ELL) that won't display the NR symbol. Everywhere else keeps it. Paul S |
