A class 377 unit of Southern collects passengers at Kensington Olympia station. It is operating the hourly service between Milton Keynes and East Croydon. The footbridge still bears remnants of its past display of the Underground Roundel and British Railways double arrow symbols. Why this side of the bridge has only been half painted in grey is a mystery - perhaps they ran out of paint? On the left, the platform number sign carries the words 'temporary sign' in the bottom left corner. Quite why a platform number would be temporary is beyond me, but these words are common to many signs along London Overground routes - perhaps they aren't sure about the chosen colours or whether to sell the routes off again!
