I love whiteboards

Spotted this morning at Highbury & Islington tube station - a sign saying this:

Victoria Line - Delay's occurring Southbound

A swift wipe of my forefinger was all it took, ladies and gentlemen, to restore grammatical order to an otherwise chaotic universe...

It might have been that what they meant to say was:

"Victoria Line - (a) Delay is occurring Southbound" though, non?

True - I'm pretty sure that what was on the board was wrong, though, so perhaps there was an "are" as well.

Or perhaps my pedantry is turning me into a zealot who sees blasphemy where there is none.
