Indeed so, although I think that the same applies to the travelling public.
Despite the vast fortunes being invested in visual and audible passenger
information systems (both on-train and on-station) a significant number of
people blatantly ignore them and, in their defence, I suspect that staff
trying to go about their daily tasks must get heartily sick of perpetually
being pestered by people with dumb questions, simply because they can't be
bothered to refer to the timetable posters or PIS, or listen to the
announcements. The faults lie on both sides and work both ways.

Theres no reason why current service information above and beyond the time
till the next 3 trains can't be presented on the dot matrix displays at all
stations. They've got the computer infrastructure to do it so why don't they?
Other countries can manage it.
