How about a panel next to the main display which reads along the lines
of "Next train for quickest arrival at Paddington is: xx.xx plat y"
This would need to be larger than the normal display to ensure
passengers see it first, and perhaps with a footnote that other
earlier trains run but will arrive after the recommended train.
This could work really well at stations where there is one, main,
destination (eg: at Woking, you'd pick Waterloo; at Reading, you'd
pick Paddington; and at Stratford, Liverpool Street).
But at a terminus, it's not so good: There are a large number of
destinations, and finding the right one can be a pain. I really
dislike Manchester Picadilly station because they take this approach;
there's such a vast amount of information it can be a pain to find
the needle you want.
Cheers,
