Still nothing for the District Line, which hasn't even got the standard
dot matrix system in use on the Northern for perhaps 20 years. Bow
Road's new WB platform indicator board use smaller lettering, are less
centrally located on the platforms, illuminate the 'next train' message
later than its predecessor, and still doesn't give more than 2 minutes'
advance warning!!!! Useless!!!

The lack of District line info is because there are only a small number
of inputs to the TrackerNet system which the site takes it's info from,
all on the Barons Court - Ravenscourt Pk area.

Good to see the Northern and Victoria system working, makes a change
from looking at the 'non-public' version of ETA and seeing almost every
train on the two lines running around as 477. Looks like the control
computer has finally been persuaded to work...
