Thanks, I'll take a proper look at that site later. I did just note
this piece from the news section...
http://www.mentzdv.de/index.php?id=229#c7363

....which mentions the IJP cockpit (the control panel) being adjusted
by the TfL Technical Manager so as to give three results rather than
four at a time when the system was being heavily used during the
Metronet strike.

I liked the idea that "Mild chaos broke out in the tube as a result of
the absent personnel", though I don't think they've quite got the
resolution of the strike right! -
"The transport strike lasted into the next day (Sept. 4, 2007) until
employers agreed to union demands for pension compensation."

Currently at the top of that page there is mention of an international
IJP workshop called "Real Time", organised by TfL - so it seems that
TfL are well stuck in there when it comes to helping to develop the
IJP product with the help of their operational knowledge.
