Firstly apologies for the double post last time. Don't know how this
happenned.

If its so difficult and expensive to connect the signalling to the
platform displays, then why was the system installed in the first
place? And how much of our money did that cost? Wrong information is
worse than no information.

This morning at 7:22 the indicators were indicating the next three
trains as Bank, Charing X, Bank. They arrived as Bank, Bank, Charing
X. If TfL don't know where their own trains are going, they should
admit it and switch the bloody things off.

It's much cheaper and easier to install indicators when you refurb a
station, rather than as a one-off project. So if you know the
signalling system due in a few years will fully support the indicators,
any ou're refurbing the station now, it makes sense to do it now.

Maybe someone at TfL reads this group! For the last two mornings the
indicator at Totteridge has been switched off.

Several people do, but you are more likely to get an explanation if you
send it to TfL directly:
