As far as I can see all this consists of is an Orange poster on the wall of
the nominated stations.

No increase in services (in fact no changes to services at all), no new
signage, no integrated maps, no nothing.

So what are they spending the money on, or am I just expecting too much that
they should get things in place for the start of the scheme?

See this press release about todays 'launch':

There is also a brochure explaining what it's supposed to be about:

It comes with a shiny new map and 'Local Area Info' board, which will no
doubt be Illegible by tomorrow morning at most of the stations.

There are maps, but very badly built and make it seem that you can
interchange at various places when you cant!

So what are they spending the money on


See Above

Basically the ON is a group of stations and lines that were grouped and
given a few signs to promote off-peak travel.
