Dot matrix displays
peter wrote: Not just at Plaistow. At my local station, Totteridge and Whetstone, the indicators purport to show the time and route (ie Bank or Charing Cross) of the next 3 trains. Trouble is they're almost always wrong. You can generally double the time to the next arrival, and the routing information changes every couple of minutes. As only about one train in 4 goes via CX in the morning peak, it is especially frustrating to wait for an indicated train, only to have it turn up via Bank. I wrote to TfL about this last month, and got a 'we don't care' reply. They said:- "These problems will be solved by the new signalling system to be installed on the Northern line. The systems take time to design, manufacture and install, but should be in place by 2011." Four more years to cure a simple problem, of their own making! How difficult can it be to connect the indicators to the signals? Still, as we only pay £1,328 a year for the privilege, who are we to complain? I made some similar comments to TfL a year or so ago, I travel from Finchley Central to Moorgate each day and it is frustrating that the inidcator boards give inacurate information. If your journey is via CX then you may want to get on the first train and change at Finchley Central as it seems all of the trains coming from Mill Hill East go via CX. Andy |
