Edgware Road (a bit like Earl's Court) has always been a nightmare to
navigate.

Edgware Road westbound is really easy to deal with. About half way down
platforms 3 and 4 are signal repeaters; it's easy enough to place
yourself where both are visible. Whichever one goes green is the train
that will go first.

Earl's Court can be just as confusing. I've been on an Upminster -
Wimbledon train that's come in on the north Westbound platform, and sat
there waiting 2 minutes, and a Wimbleware train has come in on the southwide
platform. I looked out the door, BOTH signals were on Green.

Earl's Court to the Wimbledon branch is one of the few places where you
can't play the game - there's two westbound tracks almost to West
Brompton and, as the driver intimated, no clue when you're standing at
EC as to who will get priority at the merge point.
