[train departures]

IMHO Camden Town is somewhere that needs a Trackernet display for the
public to see.

the track diagram or the list of departures from platforms?

Not sure the track diagram would work simply because it shows train
numbers and they typically give no clue as to which branch is served
south of Camden. Northbound it doesn't matter as platforms are branch
specific.

I know Trackernet format is not that easy to use by the masses but
regular punters will soon pick it up allowing them to make there own
decisions as to what might be next.

However customer information systems should really be designed so
everyone can use them easily and quickly. Given the volume of tourist
and irregular users at Camden Town it would be a bit daft to put in a
"regular user" specific system. The place would just clog up with
confused people and there's no space in the station to have people just
standing about trying to decide what platform to use.
