LUL wasting money
In Paddington H&C yesterday I noticed that the large touch-screen tube map is flanked on either side by a large pod containing a screen permanently displaying the wheelchair tube map, and another large pod with a screen permanently displaying the bike-allowing tube map http://content.tfl.gov.uk/bicycles-o...-transport.pdf. They seem to have forgotten that sticking a poster on the wall twice a year is still an option. The weekend engineering list however seems to be universally done on paper, even though a map that changes every week, and would be much better if the working lines had solid colour and the possessions were flashing on and off, is actually a reasonable use of an electronic display. Although maybe the 150 people paid 120k each to be on TfL's Differently Epileptic Stakeholder Task Force have banned flashing lines. The main touch screen map also seems to be frozen in time... no Lea Bridge on the London's Rail map yet, and the mistake whereby Paddington is left off the Bakerloo Line on the main tube map hasn't been rectified yet. But at least it works better than the equivalent one in Blackfriars South Bank entrance. I'm going back next week to see if it's responded to the finger presses I performed in November yet. |
