Noted today that new Line Diagrams have appeared in (some) D stock.
These incorporate interchange indications for "OVERGROUND" at Barking, Olympia, West Brompton and Gunnersbury.
However there were some anomalies to be spotted.
The car I was traveling in had Whitechapel overstuck with an interchange for "EAST LONDON" Line and an endorsement of it's closing date. Some of the long diagram stickers had been used on the short diagrams thus partially obscuring Mile End.
The adjacent car however, was missing the stickers and thus showed Whitechapel as interchanging with "East London Line Replacement Bus Service".
Other anomalies, on the short diagrams the NR logo had been removed from Gunnersbury, presumably to reflect there are no other NR services there except the specifically mentioned "OVERGROUND" .... however the long diagram still had an NR logo at Gunnersbury.
Finally, the most glaring of omissions, the long diagrams show an interchange black circle at Ealing Common, but do not indicate what with ! The short diagrams correctly show the interchange with the "PICCADILLY" Line.
From an aesthetic point of view I do wish they'd drop that horrendous wheelchair symbol in the place of the interchange circle at step free access stations. It should be shown separately like the NR logo !
