Anyone know what went wrong with the screens on the Vic this morning? I entered the platform at Green Park and theboard was showing 1. 56 mins 2. 58 mins 3. 59 mins. An announcement was then made to ignore the screens and that trains were running every three-four minutes.

The Victoria line dot matrix indicators are based on timetabled information and then adjusted by the passage of a train. Could it be that the wrong Timetable was uploaded (engineering works today) and the trains were being signalled manually or in "king" (automatically)?

A bit late in the day, they are all like it, it`s because of the engineering works on the north end

A tip for the next time it happens, ignore the first number so 56 mins is 6 mins etc.
