There have been many occasions where the line delivery staff have contacted the network operations centre to advise them, then they have refused. It's all political. Station staff then have to deal with the ****ed off passengers who have lanned their journey in accordance with the delays messages they have seen on route and have now been delayed. Luckily the more old school station staff, rather than the boil in the bag yes men and women actually use their common sense and turn off the PA system, until some manager complains (or Tim OToole gets accosted by passengers). Sarah, the dot matrix there at Baker St can only display trains once they leave Edgware Road, then the otherside of Edgware Road, nothing at all can be seen! |

I figured something like that was happening, as the first we knew there was a train was when it said "1 min", and I could see it by looking up the tunnel. |
