I do like the new train indicators at St Pancras and Farringdon...

Certainly can't be worse then the unclear mess we had before.

I do hope these become the new 'standard' - they are exceptionally clear.

A shame that they're sized so that full station names have to be
abbreviated on the "stations served" list. A bit poor to have "West
Hamsptead Thm", "Mill Hill Bway" and "Luton Airport Pway".

The minimal information provided for later departures needs improvement.
The Bedfords illustrated are alternately "all stations" and "limited
stops" umtil afetr midnight - some way of indicating this should be devised.

However I am pleased to report that the message "Stand Clear- Not for
Public Use" was displayed clearly! Pity the train concerned was a
normal service. (Regulars will recognise this as a late evening game
played occasionally by the operators.)
