I was at Hampton Court yesterday and one of the platform indicators
was saying, "Stand back, the next train does not call at this
station." Which was strange as Hampton Court is a terminus.


Reminds me of the dot-matrix at Lewisham DLR, which reported an out of
service train as "train not stopping"...


Yes, that indication should only really be applied if the train is a TBM!

Demolish serious culture!


At Moorgate (FCC or as they now call it rather confusingly Moorgate
Underground) the destination indicators show arriving trains (i.e.
10:26 from Hertford North). As this is terminus and not one at which
it's likely that you'd meet someone this is pretty daft as it
relegates the next train departing to the second row of a two row
display.
