I'll wait for the second train.

Is that because the indicators show departures for both sets of platforms? (I don't know, just asking!)

The 2nd train has had the flux capacitor mod added when it was in Derby.

Amersham trains 1 min apart. Now that IS fantasy!

Could it be there is a 1 missing from in front of the 2 or possibly a 2 or a 3

Think the system needs a reboot  |

Let's hope the same system isn't doing the driving!

The new DMIs at Harrow on the hill P5/6 also display confusing info sometimes. I was hypothesising that the DMIs were collaging information from a couple of different sources and sometimes displaying the same train twice (with slightly different times). I was thinking that in HoH's case the sources would be the Uxbridge branch, the other lines, and the signaller, or possibly other prediction software and the signaller. Where does the information that feeds these new DMIs come from?
I might open another thread to discuss what the P5/6 Harrow DMIs actually mean - some of their predictions are clear as mud (and still do not say which platform is departing first)

The new MAGIC Boxes driving these indicators live up to their name it seems...

I don't really know the top end of the Met well enough, but could it be anything to do with the fast and slow lines? The train which is currently nearer is on the slow line, and the train which is currently a bit further south is on the fast line and will get there first?

As its a manually controlled frame and the signaller may not be able to follow the timetable to the extent of the correct platform for what ever reason that may be the system for the TD is not able until the route is selected know what platform the train is coming in

Indeed at Harrow P5/6 that behaviour is obvious. I'll start another thread to delve into this and other behaviour rather than further hijacking this one.

3 Amersham within 2 minutes! And back on topic (and with my computer programmers hat on), this seems to be a clear cut case of failure to account for Heisenburg when deduplicating the source information. Schoolboy error! |

Was there an unexpected and 'out of place' police phone box plus eccentric man who called himself a doctor and claimed ownership of said box nearby? btw, the photo below dates from before the days of London Overground.  Simon |
