I recently noticed that the banner signs over the staircase entrances
at the junction itself have been replaced with displays which just say
"Oxford Circus Station" 99% of the time but are effectively
ultra-wide-screen TVs capable of displaying any message. How new are
they? Is this the only station which has them? I presume they have an
"Emergency - Don't Enter" message as well, but what else will they be
used for?

Clever stuff, but unfortunately I doubt it'll ever say 'just bloody walk
to another station you lazy gits' when Oxford Circus closes when it's
overcrowded.

(On a similar note, Tube strikes are bad news, but they do at least tend
to 'sort the mend from the boys'.)


Last time there was a proper tube strike the great northern from palmers
green was absolutely rammed. I won't be doing that trip again in a hurry.
Thank god for working from home facilities.
