100% agreed. However I’m not sure on the use of the blue on black at the bottom of the sign

Think these look pretty good and good to see the double arrow being used on the sign as intended. I can understand the complaint there's a bit too much white space but I guess the posts are existing and a sign has to be made to fit, it looks quite well proportioned to me.

The T logo is also fine and similar to what has been done in Manchester for stations there. Having a local transport operator logo which sits to the right of the name where applicable seems a good solution to me.

I think they look far smarter than the outdated, worn looking Serco-Abellio Northern Rail signage elsewhere on the network. I think they're fine for a consistent national standard if only it'd be rolled out properly.

I think it looks fantastic. Very smart.

These "horrors" (and I agree with the word choice) have been done in Helvetica and look just so cruddy. And why? If they were only in RA2 instead, they'd be pretty much bang-on standards.

RA2 starting to crop up at Victoria now

Interesting to see that they are still using the Railtrack station logo.

I think this is good. One (incredibly rare) bit of genuine praise for Railtrack was there refurbs of the major terminis and these logos, so I'm glad they are being kept.
