I suppose I should not answer my own question - here are some examples, though, of how ontimetrains colours performance after the event.

Colour blindness should also be a factor in compiling these coloured time tables.

Yes, and remembering that red/green colour blindness is by far the most common form. In all but the most severe cases, a clear bright red and green can be distinguished, but dark red and dark olive green not so.
O/T trivia, but in the last war, the RAF actively recruited colour blind observers for some flights. Some types of yellow or green camo nets used by enemy forces, stood out from the surroundings but only to colour blind observers.
