I can understand the logic of keeping the 21:34 locked until the 21:24
has departed to avoid people wanting the 21:24 getting on the 21:34
without realizing. But I cannot see why it can ever make sense to
display the 21:34 board while the 21:24 is on the same platform. But
the people on duty on the platform seemed oblivious to the fact that
this was causing confusion.


Never seen them do that. What I have seen that *is* causing confusion
is that the board for platform 10 is broken, but is just displaying
"Welcome to Euston". Somebody needs to get it to display "Out of
Order" (or put a bit of card over it) as it is making people think
they've read the main board wrong and go back to the concourse.
