Whilst the plasma screens are being relocated the old solari indicator board

When will they see sense and dispose of the damned things, replacing
the Solari boards with a high-intensity amber LED setup like Euston's?

Mistakes have been made with the use of plasma on the railways, and
it's been proven that the LED displays are a good evolutionary
improvement on the original Solari, with them springing up all over
the country. Let's forget them, stop wasting money on trying to make
flawed technology work, and move forward with something that clearly
does the job.
