Going round in circles with Windows in Singapore Some errors are descriptive. Some errors are misleading. And some errors… well, your guess is as good as ours. Welcome to another entry in our 12 Borks of Christmas. We venture abroad for today's example of sick signage, which has seen better days and is badly in need of an operating system upgrade. "Another fantastically …
It does look like someone took the eraser tool to it. Possibly this is a 5G COVID transmission station, and Big Government in league with Big Pharma leaned on the submitter to censor the error, which clearly must have been something incriminating about the nefarious nature of the device in question.
Maybe so, but if you look properly at the image, the pasted over or erased background of the dialogue box is a different shade of grey and the right edge of the box doesn't line up properly. It does look very much like a poorly edited image or a quick erase by the OP or El Reg to blank out some potentially sensitive info. Or it's click-bait to spark off the conspiracy theorists :-)

...for the simple reason that the train company don't like to talk about things crashing.

When I worked for the London Underground Signal Engineering team on the Northern/Victoria line computerisation it was deeply frowned upon to say that the system had crashed.
Some would say that there's no point(s) at all.

I believe on the Glasgow Subway this was the case. Trains had to be lifted off the track by crane for maintenance. Nowadays there are points.
FWIW the renowned (nee round?) London Underground Circle line is now no longer circular - topologically speaking. It is now swiss roll shape with terminii at Hammersmith and Edgware Road. In the old days when it was "circular", Aldgate was a notional terminus. Aldgate was a natural choice for this purpose due to it being the only station on the line that was (sort of) exclusive to the Circle line, which meant that train crews could "layover" without holding up other services. The platform arrangement also enabled trains to overtake for operational reasons aka the service had become pear-shaped.
In the old days outer London Metropolitan trains were often scheduled to run through to Aldgate during the peak hours only (hence the "sort of" qualifier). Nowadays there is a regular through service all day to Aldgate.
