Euston northern line
Is there a place where you can see both northern Line NB departure
board so you can see where the next train to Golders Green will be? |

Following the modernisation of the station there is a bank of display panels in the ticket hall before you reach the ticket gates. This shows the next 3 departures / waiting times for each platform. You should be able to see which platform will be served first by an Edgware branch train. Paul Corfield via Google |

Is it like Camden Town where they don't necessarily show the next train if it's too close? I find it extremely confusing that the displays on the platform are not consistent when I get there. |

IMHO Camden Town is somewhere that needs a Trackernet display for the public to see. I know Trackernet format is not that easy to use by the masses but regular punters will soon pick it up allowing them to make there own decisions as to what might be next. -- Nick |

Camden Town already has repeaters of the Platform indicators at the bottom of the escalators and outside the Supervisor's Office. Used them on many an occasion when hunting a Southbound train.

Not sure the track diagram would work simply because it shows train numbers and they typically give no clue as to which branch is served south of Camden. Northbound it doesn't matter as platforms are branch specific. I know Trackernet format is not that easy to use by the masses but regular punters will soon pick it up allowing them to make there own decisions as to what might be next. However customer information systems should really be designed so everyone can use them easily and quickly. Given the volume of tourist and irregular users at Camden Town it would be a bit daft to put in a "regular user" specific system. The place would just clog up with confused people and there's no space in the station to have people just standing about trying to decide what platform to use. -- Paul C Admits to working for London Underground! |
