At long last the main departure boards at St Pancras station are being replaced. I passed through the station earlier today and the old boards have been removed and a small temporary departure board installed across one of the exit doors onto Pancras Road (the one that’s usually closed in winter).
Let’s hope the new boards will be better than the old ones (a clock showing exact seconds would be a start), and while they’re at it they could do with replacing the ‘next fastest train to’ board for the Thameslink platforms. This board is positioned just inside the Thameslink gateline but it is too small to read until you have passed through the barriers, so not really fit for purpose.
