Sorry, that's a bit confusing...
If you go down the steps at Goodge Street (after the lift), to the area between the two Northern Line platforms, believe it or not, but the metal sign still shows the Jubilee Line stopping at Charing +, and no Jubilee connection at Waterloo. Amazingly, considering this sign must be at least from 1999 - possibly earlier, as I would have thought there would have been some kind of indication that the Jubilee connection at Charing + was going to be withdrawn for a while before it actually happened. But what amazes me is that it hasn't been changed. Have the staff, the Manager of the Northern Line (and the Jubilee Line for that matter), completely not realised that this is the case? Do they know but can't be arsed (strange, as it's big enough and it's the first thing you see when you go down the stairs). There's no evidence of a sticker with the changes having been removed by someone. My guess is that they simply haven't noticed, as there's always a budget set aside for changes to signage and it wouldn't cost much to do. Any other examples of totally misleading signage out there? (that's been misleading for several years, as I'm sure there's still plenty of signs still around with Shoreditch still open....) So a sign that beats 1999 as far as inaccuracy is concerned then? (I'm not referring to signs that aren't changed because they're "quaint" such as the various spellings of St James'(s) Park in the same station, but rather things that are plain wrong and would almost certainly confuse the hell out of the poor tourists). And not including signs that are there for historical reasons, such as Heath Street in Hampstead. There's no excuse for the mistake in Goodge Street really is there! Any still-in-use signs directing people to Aldwych or Ongar perhaps? That would beat the 1999 sign by 5 years :-) |
