AFAIK its done by a timetable system - not by simply picking up a train id
at the trackside and setting the route accordingly.
Back in the 1960s the Northern Line was using automatic route setting
equipment. Used a giant pianola type roll with punched holes.
Thats nice. And that is the same as picking up the id from a train on the
track, how exactly?
The way I see it if the giant piano wants to send train A to Barnet and train
B to edgware but the trains arrive in the order B - A , then its screwed.
