Outdated platform sign at Highbury & Islington

[Harlesden]

On Platform 4 at Highbury & Islington - served by FCC's Welwyn/Hertford northbound services - the information on the Way Out sign directs passengers to "North London Link" complete with double arrow symbol.
The service referred to is, of course, now London Overground's Stratford-Richmond/Clapham Junction service, and there are additional London Overground services from adjacent platforms.
Surely the sign should be updated.
The southbound FCC platform most likely has a similar sign, but I didn't check.

I'd be slighly more concerned about the NSE signs down on the Great Northern platforms! TBF it isn't really broken, so don't fix it. 'North London Link' is a good a name as I have ever heard for the North London Line.

I think all the stations on the Northern City Line have NSE signs on the fcc platforms, with the exception of Drayton Park.

That's because they are integrated into the wall tiling...

One of the line diagrams on the Northbound Victoria Line platform at Green Park (IIRC) still refers to Highbury as having an interchange with the Northern Line...and that hasn't been the case since 1976! (There used to be a similar map at the bottom of the stairs from the Piccadilly Line concourse to the Victoria Line at King's Cross St. Pancras too).

Cheers,

I like the situation. It's like a time warp, with the 'vintage' trains and the old-style decor: it's like taking a trip back into what the railways used to be like! And it's better for FCC as they wouldn't have to spend money repainting everything

(except Moorgate, Old Street and H+I are surely London Underground's responsbility, but shhh)

The platforms at those locations are treated as Network Rail and not London Underground.

That would explain things! I'm sure if LU did own it they'd be down right away painting yellow lines and adding the barriers at the end of platforms!
