Hi everyone,
I have a lot of interest in the London Underground and was wondering if someone could help with the explanation of some of the signage used in the game and placement and things like that. So the questions I have are:
The 'T' speedboard. (It's literally a speedsign with a letter 'T' on it) - What is it for and when is it used? I initially thought it maybe stood for termination or something like that but I'm not sure as I've not seen many examples of it.
(In the picture above its the first sign after the whistleboards)
My second question is regarding station limit markers. These being the signs with a blue background and white numbers on them. My understanding of these is that they allow drivers to see how many cars are still in the platform in the event of an emergency(?) - Now from what I've seen in videos, they go in ascending order (1-6 or 8 depending on the stock on the line) but the intervals they are placed don't seem to be the same length as the tube cars themselves? Am I just misjudging the distance and they are actually placed a cars length apart or is there another unit of measurement that determines their placement?
Thanks in advance if anyone is able to help.
