It could be a matter of semantics but I wonder why "good service" was chosen as the term to display on indicator boards when there are no delays.
I often think that the service is good, but that is my decision to make, I shouldn't be told that it is good. I can decide if it's good myself... If a train is cancelled, or there is a temporary hold-up, there might be a delay, which I wouldn't describe as a good thing.
Normal service would be a bit more neutral.

Either way, if it's that concerning, a definition of what 'good' or 'normal' means would also be required.

'Good' in the sense of 'having the desired qualities' is the meaning here. The 'desired qualities' being those laid down in the timetable, conditions of carriage &c..
