Default In a LT minute

Hammersmith (Picc westbound) is similar to this. It also annoys me
that it lists the first train, plus the next train to a different
destination. "1. Heathrow 1 min / Next train to Northfields in 5 min"
is not helpful if you're trying to go to Rayners Lane. And in any
case, the next train to Northfields is in 1 min.


I wonder why Hammersmith has this unusual system? As you say, it's less
useful (if pedantically more accurate) than the usual listings of the
next three trains. Was it an experiment that failed, and so wasn't
repeated?
