several times the announcements at Cockfosters of when trains will
leave haven't worked, and it is literally pot luck as to what train
will leave first. I played that game again last week, and the train
sitting at the green signal was the last one to leave, after numerous
other trains arrived and departed

At Cockfosters you say?

Impossible unless all the others were going past red signals, and that's
frowned upon big style (like it's your job on the line). Maybe the
other trains were going into the depot. That's the big place over to
the right where the General Public are not generally welcome, hence you
not being invited to travel there.

Methinks you've been reading too much Daily Mail/Boltar.
