You're on the platform. You glance up at the board and it says there's one minute until your next train. You go back to your book but when you again the board still says one minute. Have TfL discovered a glitch in the space/time continuum and are they fearlessly exploiting it to disguise delays? Is there a cunning bit of gadgetry that keeps the sign at one minute until the train reaches a certain point in the tunnel? Inquiring minds need to know. The same goes for the trains marked ‘Special'.
