  1. The “Network Rail’s Wayfinding Design Guidance & Pictogram Redesign” is so very retro, it looks exactly like the 1983 Letraset Catalogue (£2) that I had .. a preciouses child. I would have hoped Network Rail had realised we were in the second decade of the following millennium.

    Perhaps the people who run the trains could think about a system for the future rather than the past?

  2. @Brian,
    Well, since we are heading back to the 70s in so many ways, maybe a retro design is appropriate?
