communications equipment.

METROPOLITAN LINE: Severe delays are occurring due to faulty communications

(The Google archive is screwed at the moment so I don't know where we
are but ...)

That pretty much illustrates the point. I can't remember when I last
needed to get any kind of timetable booklet in London because,
firstly, I know that any route is likely to run frequently till late,
if not all night and, secondly, there will be timetables and diagrams
at the bus stop.
