F = Greenwich? I guessing the CGL Rail logo refers to 'City, Greenwich and Lewisham'.

Location F: Greenwich - lift and information boards on platform 4 [Chris M] (click for a larger version) CGL Rail (City Greenwich Lewisham Rail Link PLC) is the DBFO (design, build, finance and operate) concessionaire for the Lewisham extension. They are responsible for maintenance and things like servicing the ticket machines. Interestingly, their 24.5 year contract expires at the end of this month. So what links Hammersmith, Hanwell, Goodmayes, Twyford, Temple and Greenwich?

Interestingly, their 24.5 year contract expires at the end of this month A small correction - the concession runs to the end of March 2021.
