It only took them 20 years to get the descibers to actually give the time
until the next train from cockfosters instead of no indication at all until
1 minute before a train showed up. Obviously all their rocket scientists were
busy elsewhere.

I read on internal sites that a new signalling system has just been
commissioned on the EAST end of the Piccadilly.

I assume that this has also added this functionality which is a bonus.

Possibly. OTOH they managed to get time to next train functionality working on
the outer reaches of the northern line back in the late 80s with whatever post
war LNER signalling leftovers they had their so I really don't think they had
any excuse other than corporate indifference and inertia not to get it working
on the picc until 2016.
