I hope this does help a bit!

It certainly did!
BTW, I saw you say there are no dot matrix indicators north of
Harrow-on-the-Hill in another thread. North Harrow has them - they await
information.
I was at HOTH the other morning on a slow train to Baker Street. I had
no fast train information but the slow line was faster.

Yes, North Harrow has been refurbished so has new Dot Matrix displays.
They won't provide the required information until the new signalling
system (they may benefit but I don't know for definate from the
Interim Computer Controlled system in about 2009/10, before the new
control centre is used.)

I forgot to add that Ticket Halls will also have next train displays
but (generally, depending on the distance from the platforms) will not
show trains less than two minutes away.

Harrow only has light boxes at present so only shows the train in or
approaching the platform. The station staff either using the Train
trackernet or by asking the signal operator can gove more detailed
information.
There is often very little difference in journey times vs getting off
a stopping train to getting on a slow (HOH-WPK)!
