Default No train boards at Wood Lane

There is no transmission of Train Desciptions (Destinations) at all on
the Hammersmith branch, nor is there a diagram of the area mentioned
above. Edgware Road (do get TDs from Baker Street and Earl's Court)
and Hammersmith signal cabins simply route the trains according to
timetable order unless advised otherwise.
The latter is true for another Z1 area of the SSR.
Elsewhere on the Piccadilly line for instance, trains do have TDs, so
the Dot Matrix piggybacks off of this. It is not unknown though for
one system to be correct and the other not!


Do you know why Baron's Court's Picc indicator board no longer work?
I'm assuming it's been replaced with a new facsimile of the old one that
needs the new Picc signalling to control it. As that's years away, would
this mean that it'll be dead for a very long time to come?
