I think there was a fear of confusing the signals folk - apparently they
could re-sign the platforms, but they'd run out of dymolabels to sort out
the signals diagrams ...
... or something equally stupid, unbelievable and Totally British Rail.

Isn't it the cost and complication of altering the 'theatre' signal
route indicators?


Quite conceiveably; though why that would affect the 'public' signage, with
all the distress and confusion that will entail for tourists and 'first
timers', is another matter.

The public will insist on getting in the way of running a smooth railway,
won't they?
