They sometimes do. And it's usually wrong!

Let the speculation begin! Bromley North to Highbury and Islington.

Personally I find the professionals' views on here incredibly interesting - it's a great forum to get your side of things across, and has educated me no end about the logistical difficulties faced. Now when I get friends and work colleagues complaining about train related things, such as short...

That's fair enough although I can't see ETRMS being implemented in the SE network this century. Can LED lights fail in such a fashion?
