Quite. If you have to check the destination indicators on the train
anyway there's little point having the platform ones except for a
countdown until the next train.

Well, old fashioned they may be, but the Earl's Court ones are pretty
reliable IME. I don't think I've seen them wrong.

Don't shoot the messenger but in my experience, the general public
find those **very** difficult to interpret.

Quite possibly. I fully accept that I am not a member of the general
public in relation to them, having known them since I was in short
trousers.
