What's wrong with the diagram? Name at least one thing!

Taken few days ago while commuting on the London Overground's brand new train:

Have I missed something or is the actual diagram missing something? :)

(Sorry for the picture quality)

Johnston's typeface replaced by... is it Myriad ?
I noticed something similar a few days ago on a diagram in the Paris subway, where Jean-François Porchez's Parisine had given way to something that looked also like Myriad.

I was going to say that the handicapped symbol had been flopped, but maybe this is an American vs. British thing.

You could be Barking up the right tree...

Yeah, the typeface is gone. But I see it didn't make big impression here on Typophiles, so maybe I'm oversensitive :)

This would be a major violation of the LT graphic identity standards. If this has been done system-wide (and not just a temporary line change, which would also still be unacceptable...or a prank by a technologically accomplished yet typographically challenged individual) then the LT style guide has been chucked and one of the oldest and most consistent graphic identity standard systems has been destroyed. This is not hyperbole. My feeling is that it is not authorized.

Wheelchair passengers have to wait 'til the end of the line to get out of the Barking line.

Cheers!

Backward, no less. Or should I say backwards? Agh!
