Train information at stations and on line

The daily e-mail I receive from TfL told me today that there were severe delays on the Barking & Gospel Oak Line owing to a signal failure. I phoned the recorded announcement and it said that one train was running non stop Barking to S Tottenham owing to an earlier train failure. The live departure board on the web had "no report" for the 17:25 train even at 17:15 and the white board at Harringay Green Lanes simply said "delays". The 17:45 was on time.

What a lot of useless rubbish.

When I got to Barking, I wondered if the fact that only c2c and London Overground trains are announced by loudspeaker, but not Underground trains, is a breach of the Disability Discrimination Act.
