A bit odd this one:
Whet’’s odd is that from reading the replies to the tweet, it appears to be a new diagram,

Installed in the early 1990s. North Weald and Ongar covered with a white enamel plate when the section of line closed.

Categorically not from this decade since the interchanges have coloured ticks that are no longer part of London Underground design standards. Further more, new signs would be in Johnston 100 and looking at the lower case G’s in particular I can safely say that this New Johnston. The signs may simply have been repositioned following Crossrail works and the opportunity may have been taken to clean them up. Still, I can see why people may think that they are new because it looks in remarkably good condition considering the aggressive environment these signs are in. |

Definitely early-‘90s.
New Johnston “4” top left, now back to proper Johnston (which would have distinct points, rather than blunts to the character)
Sticker over Stratford interchanges, which someone has tried to peel!

Also no H&C at Mile End.

The sign also has the 'capacitor' at Hainault (which I've always thought was a rather nice way of representing the service pattern), and not the modern representation.
Another thing that strikes me is that even the new platform line diagrams don't have step-free symbols on them, which seems an odd ommission.

The Hainault layout was a representation of the main service at the time. The Circles are supposed to show interchanges not step free access. Step free symbols at non interchange stations are confusing. There are lists by every lift showing the step free access stations on the line. |

H&C was a line in its own right by the early 90s, but may have been omitted from Mile End as the service was still peak hours only beyond Whitechapel. |

Definitely early 90s and I noticed the Stratford interchange stickers as well (well someone pointed it out to me when I tweeted about it!).
