To those of you who are interested, the last NSE segment clock was removed from Euston last night to be replaced with a digital equivalent. Signs of NSE are slowly fading away!
NSE is dead? Nah, go on a weekday to the Northern City Line platforms (FCC) at Highbury and Islington![]()

If these are what I think they are, that's very sad for me personally - being young, the clicking clock at Windsor & Eton Central whilst waiting for a heavily-delayed train is my first real memory of railways... I was completely terrified of it at the time, but learnt to love them.
I also remember it displaying "heLP" at one point
You are talking about those clocks with the red numbers that looked like digital clocks but made loud clicking noises, right?
There's still one at King's Cross that has survived all the work - between the two monitors down on platforms 10 and 11a.
I am sure someone has simply forgotten about it.
Is it possible to buy one surplus or are they all bust?
yes! but you need a deep wallet, and this is only for the display, none of the driver electronics!
its one of my first purchases should I win the lottery

Do/did these clocks require some kind of master/reference signal to operate, or simply connected to the mains and running from a local timer?
