Default "The Bill" on the tube

This reminds me of quite a few years back when I saw several DLR
trains parked at All Saints with the destination "Brunswick", which
got me wondering


Brunswick (after the nearby dock) was the name originally intended for
what became East India station when the DLR opened. Since "Brunswick"
had been coded into the destination displays, it is now used to indicate
that a train awaiting service has been cleaned.

until a few weeks later the DLR appeared on the Bill (mainly at what
appeared to be Bank for the platform scenes) with this as the
destination on all the trains they used.


True. I guess they used clean trains that didn't yet have any filth in
them ...
