There's a via Greenwich train at 19.38, and a Woolwich via Lewisham at
19.39. Since the Greenwich train almost certainly continues to
Woolwich, and yet Woolwich passengers are told to wait for the 19:39,
It appears to be recommending the earliest arrival rather than simply
the first departure.

Aha. It certainly does. Next question though ... if the via Woolwich
was 10 minutes late or cancelled, would it show the Greenwich one (one
would hope so, but it makes it all the more mysterious why the one I
saw at Lewisham was so crap)?

Er ... actually, it may be a legibility issue. It seems to have been
a Sunday in the old timetable and I think that they are both showing
1939. Note that it shows the next train to Gravesend as the 1954,
which would have been Gillingham via Bexleyheath.

The Woolwich via Lewisham would have been the 1934 which had just gone
or would have been the first to Gravesend.
