Because they are "If you brake /now/ then this is the number of cars
that will be at the platform when you stop".

No they're not. Not on the Picc at least, they indicate how many cars
you are out so that you know whether to brake or not. They are all the
same distance apart and the 6 car mark is exactly a train length out of
the platform.

Other lines may vary but I don't think they do as that's what's in our
training.

The ones on the Northern Line definitely vary. Southbound out of East
Finchley (steep downhill) they almost touch each other.

My attempt at taking photos of these from a moving train didn't
work out Perhaps this will convince t'wife I need a better camera ;-)

Any ideas on good locations to get photos of them on other lines?
It'll be an interesting expidition for a weekend (unless I get
arrested as a terrorist).
