in the last few months these funny boards have appeared in most tube stations. they tell you how all the other train lines are doing so you don’t feel so bad that the line you are about to travel on is a bit broken too.
occasionally you can even feel smug that your line is ok whilst all the others are broken.
i like how they are written by hand in felt pen. makes them somehow more human.
this one today caught my eye. it uses the words ‘normal’ and ‘good’. standards have fallen so far that normal is bad and good is noteworthy.
