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. That's why you work to a timetable. Face - palm. We're going in circles here. Never mind. You wanted to know why they worked to a timetable. -- Graeme Wall This account not read, substitute trains for rail.
