I've noticed much to my irritation that since the rebranding of the Overground lines we now no longer have a screen showing service updates for the various lines on the Underground..We now only have the other 'overground' line updates.
As someone who uses the Windrush to connect to the underground this is really annoying.
I'm sure judging from the crowd pouring down to the Jubilee line at Canada Water I'm not alone in not travelling soley via 'overground' to my destination.
It used to be really helpful seeing for instance that there were issues on the Jubilee line and opting to swap instead onto the Elizabeth line.
Does anyone know who I can contact to try and get the underground screen re-instated?
We have boards showing which busses are due and when as we leave the station so surely we should also be able to see delays on the tube lines.

Information Boards at Catford Bridge give information about underground lines.

But I travel from Forest Hill-Which is actually a much busier station than Catford bridge
Which begs the question why don't we have them there?

But why don't we have good old fashioned screens at the station like we used to?

They've now added a bus countdown screen inside the station only showing buses from Stop F on Devonshire Road.

I think the bus countdown screen has been there awhile, to the left of the exit doors above the photo booth.
I made the 'mistake' of questioning one of the staff a few weeks ago why they had no service update screens for underground lines and the staff member told me to
"check the TFL website before I travel".
I'm not the only FH commuter who uses the overground to connect to the underground....just go to Canada water and look at the queue to get onto the escalator connecting to the Jubilee line.
perhaps I am however the only commuter from FH station who forgets to look at their phone before leaving the house to check the status of the various underground lines.
Sorry for mini-rant Its just annoying to see the screens that used to show the information thats of use to the majority of us now showing status updates for Weaver,Lioness Liberty lines etc..
I dont think many of use use the Windrush to connect to one of these lines as part of our daily commute.
