I've lived in London my whole life, and I still get confused changing at Edgware Road.
Escher drawing :) Imagine when someone falls down the stairs and lands on the same spot eventually :)
I use the Tube Tracker app when in London, which works very well. At Barons Court I need to know the gap before a Richmond train (and onward connection) or if I should get a Heathrow train and bus it from Hounslow. At Hounslow, then it's the Bus Times app to see if I should go for a 281 or H22.
The lack of next train information is partly due to old technology, but there is also a practical issue. If 2 lines converge 1 minute before a particular station, the next train is only absolutely confirmed once it has passed the junction. Until then, the order in which trains arrive could change if one is held up en route, so any forecast would be unreliable and subject to irritating corrections. A "next train to X within Y minutes" would then be useful but probably beyond the technical limitations of the system.
I really can't read yellow text against a grey background! Any way around this?
@BarryD

1) Highlight the text and it's very readable.
2) Read the feed, not the blog.
3) All the important stuff in yellow is also written in black in the sentence alongside.
4) It's always like this in Circle line months. Wait til December and it'll be fine.
@Andrew - precisely the same situation at platform 6 at London Bridge mainline station, with the rare and usually delayed northbound Thameslink trains interleaving with the Charing Cross trains. The indicator showing the time to the next Thameslink service jumps around all over the place (and sometimes shows mad results such as:
1 Bedford 3 min
2 Charing Cross 2 min
3 Charing Cross 5 min
