A good few months ago, I saw the destination “Boston Manor” on a platform DMI - think it was Green Park. I’d never seen it before, and didn’t think it was possible to terminate a train there, unless there is a main line shunt west of the platform, then into Northfields depot. The train pulled in and was displaying “Northfields” as its destination, which is where I assume it ended up. Was Boston Manor just a glitch? If so, why would a code exist for it?

There is a main line shunt just west of the station at Boston Manor

Is Boston Manor available on train to select as a destination I wonder?

I'm also pretty sure it can also display the at sign, @. I'm sure I've seen some trains which say "Heathrow @ 123" or something similar.

Can anyone actually read the Picc dest. displays? they're usually covered with grime (much like the rest of the exterior these days) and if you can see past the dirt it's very small lettering.

I dont its down to width as the Northern and Jubilee lines have front displays that are of a similar length and colour come to think of it. More likely to be the dirt which is increasingly becoming part of the colour pallete for those trains.
