In regards to the report by Ian Visits the just installed train departures screen at Victoria isn’t exactly ‘new’ and not ‘huge’ – there’s been one at Waterloo since last year (it was installed and in use over the weekend of 20/21 November 2021.) and its bigger of course because it stretches along the Waterloo concourse.
Waterloo too had a smaller version which was installed in July 2020 as an experiment. Its become a permanent feature! Victoria followed with a similar small scale one too an experiment in November 2020 following Waterloo’s example – but its not as good. I think its because Victoria chooses to use a different presentation layout.
