Could they perhaps have been primarily to give station staff some
advance detail of approaching trains to assist them in providing
appropriate levels of cover for different platforms, meeting
passengers requiring assistance and in answering passenger enquiries
about train running? Bigger stations might have the display in a duty
managers office with radio contact between there and the dispatch
staff etc. but maybe at the stations mentioned in previous posts the
staff need/needed to see them "on the hoof"?
