When did the current style of roundel, the ones you see at most stations, come into use. I am talking about the ones which came about in the early 90s and continue to be the main style noted at most stations today, specifically the stations which are above ground. Commonly referred to as the Modern roundel, I am pretty sure these have been around for quite some time now. Example would be the roundels at Harrow on the Hill platforms and most stations all the way up to Watford/Amersham See links below for an example:  www.flickr.com/photos/24772733@N05/3571280560/ |

The best quality was from Boos & Hahn the German firm. They ceased vitreous enamel manufacture shortly after the programme. A J Wells & Sons on the Isle of Wight is only surviving UK manufacturer who worked on the programme. |
