Evening All,

Please forgive what may be a stupid question. I 'think' i've posted this in the right section.

Why is it that the train indicator boards at Tower Hill only show the next train almost as it's pulling into the platform? If I use the Tube Map iPhone app, it gives a full list of next trains.

Thanks,

Chris

The destination indicators on the platform are still linked to the old signalling system. At Tower Hill westbound, the train doesn't get picked up until the last moment because of the junction between the Circle and District which is very close.

Data used by apps comes from Trackernet, which uses a totally different (and much more modern) system.

Severe Delays are occurring to my thought patterns due to overworking and long hours!
