Has anyone seen the new platform indicators at Stratford? I saw them on the eastbound platform yesterday.

That looks to be the same as the ones installed at Shepherd's Bush Market (and other stations on the Hammersmith and City & Circle line).
Presumably they are the current standard.

I think the letter height is less than that specified in railway standards.
I wish they would switch to white lettering as used on Thameslink. Much clearer.

Alas domestic moaning and a lockdown have kept me from the trains since last September. So I did not even know that its been replace - let alone seen it.
Probably two indicators would have been too expensive - because of the wiring works required. But yes two would have been far FAR better. Or at least something with much larger lettering.

Were split-flap indicators e.g. those manufatured by Solar ever used for Underground services?

The letters seem much brighter. They also display up to 4 trains.
However, I haven't seen them display ** train approaching ** or ** mind the doors ** automatically like the old ones did?
They seem a bit sluggish compared to the old ones - even after the train has left it takes a bit longer for it to clear.

I just don't get why they have to be so small.

I just don't get why they have to be so small. A four line display is an improvement. There is not a lot of headroom. |
