Thanks. Someone must have thrown the wrong switch somewhere
affecting the display at Bayswater.


I don't know for sure, but my guess would be that the message you
described is programmed into the system (1980s software, don't
forget), and is so difficult to change that noone has bothered.


Er, what's the problem with changing 1980s software? At least if it's
software, it *can* be readily changed, as distinct from firmware or
hardware.
