That seems good in a "tag what's on the ground" fashion, and more
appropriate than network=.

Two particular cases I'm unsure about:

1. ScotRail is now, as well as a TOC name, the Scottish Executive-mandated
brand for rail services north of the border. I'm not sure whether the
double-arrow is still used in the new branding scheme. (Examples:
http://www.transportscotland.gov.uk/rail/role/the-brand/implementation -
there don't appear to be any double-arrows in the Queen Street pic, but
there may be outside, and I presume that it's still signposted from roads
etc. the same way.)

2. London Overground
(http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/projectsandschemes/15359.aspx). Officially
part of the mainline rail network, I think, but uses the TfL roundel. I'm
honestly not sure whether a map would _want_ to show LO stations with double
arrows or with roundels these days.

Any Scots or Londoners able to advise?

cheers
Richard
