Firstly apologies for the double post last time. Don't know how this
happenned.

If its so difficult and expensive to connect the signalling to the
platform displays, then why was the system installed in the first
place? And how much of our money did that cost? Wrong information is
worse than no information.


It's much cheaper and easier to install indicators when you refurb a
station, rather than as a one-off project. So if you know the
signalling system due in a few years will fully support the indicators,
any ou're refurbing the station now, it makes sense to do it now.
