I travelled from Gatwick railway station during the cancellation crises

minute platform changes and passengers expecting to travel on the
cancelled services were having to ask employees which train to catch
because the indicators were useless.
There is, or was when I was there last, a display monitor on one of the
platforms that shows (or can be made to show as the press of a button),
the station layout, appraching trains with numbers, and so on. It's
obviously meant for platform staff, but is very useful for passengers
who can understand it.
They’re quite common at staffed stations on the gWr network, and presumably
others too.
