Default "Service running well"

I noticed at Tottenham Court Road station this afternoon that the
service
status board at the top of the escalators had printed stickers saying
"Service running well" instead of "Good service". I think it's a

slightly
more acceptable phrase, giving the impression that the trains are

running
more or less to timetable, without claiming that the timetable offers a
"good" service.

Other station boards that I saw today, and the painfully loud and
over-frequent announcements at Gloucester Road (District/Circle) about
which I complained, continued to use "Good service".


Please direct your complaints about "Good service" to:




Call me a sceptic, but is the differentiation between "normal service" and
"good service" a very carefully considered one by TFL?
