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). Indeed, they already have these at both Waterloo and Reading. 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. Agreed that the board at Picc is annoying - but the board at London Bridge works well, despite the enormous number of destinations. The main difference is that the London Bridge one is a single, static rectangle, rather than a permanently scrolling triangle. Is the London Bridge one based on first departure time or first arrival time? Not sure, but East Croydon has one based on first arrival time.- Hide quoted text - Going inwards that certainly makes sense. As it would at Bromley South, Orpington etc. I wonder if they have them? But that's for one or two obvious destinations (Victoria, London Bridge). It would be very complicated to have the first arrivals at Dartford, Orpington, Ramsgate, Brighton, Barnham etc, sometimes via different routes, shown at London Bridge. |
