And where? There are some photos showing them in Waterloo, but it's
a big station.

Obviously, if the footnote isn't quoted, but the text in the post to which
it refers is, the [1] becomes meaningless!

Well, either, actually. Although it would be interesting to see the
blue-background ones in particular.

At Monument westbound, the Central line can be signed either one of two
ways using such a sign.

Yes, Monument/Bank is an obvious example. Also at Tower Hill, I believe
(for directing people to extra exits in the peak), and Waterloo as
mentioned. London Bridge *tube* has the illuminated ones for signing
alternative routes to the Northern and Jubilee using both escalators,
whilst the NR station does indeed have rotating flaps to indicate the
peak tidal flow system.

What about the Waterloo & City line? It's been ages since I used it.
