With the Underground gradually being reequipped with new signalling systems

are there going to be signals with LEDs to worry about in a few years.

Haven't those on five lines already gone? And, of course, the DLR never
had them.

And in typical TfL fashion the systems are all incompatible with each other.


That's not TfL's fault. That's because of the idiot privatisation
attempt - Metronet and Tube Lines chose different suppliers.


Metronet went into administration in 2008. The new signalling system for the
met line has only just gone in.


It's the third attempt, and this time the supplier is the same as for the
Jubilee and Northern lines.
