Travelling on the District shuttle between Ealing Broadway and Acton Town this weekend (which was possibly designed so as to connect as badly as possible with the Central line), I noticed in the cab of train 101 what seemed to be a timeboard for train 101, showing its duties for the day. (Though I did only see it as it sailed out of the station). Are these used throughout the network, or was this an exception?

Sounds like an analysis sheet. They are really intended for the DMTs so they can easily see when a particular train is supposed to have a change of driver, which driver will be on it, and also the times at which the train reaches termini and driver relief points.
However drivers soon cottoned on to the fact that these sheets give them all the essential information for the operation of the train without having to wade through the special working timetable, so it is now common practice for drivers to take a photocopy of the analysis sheet.

Thanks, adw. I imagine it must be far easier to look at said sheet rather than flick through a timetable.
I presume the purpose for the DMTs was when services screwed up, and they had to think of a cunning way of giving each train a driver?
