There are no southbound trains?


Not at the times referred to no.

SB arrivals and NB departures only.

That's only true when the indicators are actually working (and often
they are not).

If the indicators aren't working, you don't know which platform to go
for anyway, or where any northbound train you find is going, so
there's a bigger problem.

Proper use of of the variable displays is the answer. For some reason
the railways do have a tendency to use electronic screens for fixed
information and fixed signs for variable information.
