Ah, but the 59th (S8) train hasn't been authorised yet  And it won't be Train 59 - the first S7 is - we await with interest to see if it is authorised and what train it might be - 192 perhaps. |

Three out of the four S7s have now been in service at various times, leaving 304-303 to do so - it is at Hammersmith. Maybe in service soon.

Currently S8s spend more time telling us where they are NOT going rather than where they are:-
'All stations' -- 'Metropolitan Line' -- 'Watford' repeating. For instance.
Would it not be possible with all the whizzy new software for the sequence to be
'All stations' -- 'Watford' -- 'Metropolitan Line' -- 'Watford'
You then have to wait a maximum of one change to see the destination rather than the possible two if 'All stations' is the first thing you see.

I think the screens should be split into 2 horizontally with one half showing the line and the other alternating between destination and service type, I'm sure if this will work on the current screens so they may have to be widened on the S8's. Failing this, 2 tier screens.

It's the first of 3 S7+1 which will replace the S8's which go back to Derby for modifications. S8's will be going back 3 at a time.
