Why are these ones different to all the others on the network? They look like something out of the 1990s.

They do perform well though, never seem to be wrong though occasionally you see them change as a train arrives.
The only issue with them is that they have no flexibility, for example the display for the last Chesham will still say change at Chalfont for Amersham, even though there isn't a connection available

I'm not an expert on Baker Street, but I would have thought the reason for the difference would be because of the following information being needed to be displayed at various locations within the station:
- 3 Platforms, all which can contain country-bound trains, and 2 which can also contain city-bound trains, so the individual platforms need to have info for the trains on other platforms.
- They need to show more than 4 next trains due to the range of destinations
- IIRC, they are also contain more detailed arrival times.
In the past, I found them difficult to read at a distance on the platform, but this issue has been resolved with the S-Stock side indicators.

(Only three of them these days. (Just as an aside.)) |
