I saw that last week when they were (presumably) testing the display (the trains were still terminating at Dalston Junction that day). I thought they might change it when the service started this week, but obviously not.

Does the Forest Hill Society have a regular contact at LOROL? Perhaps they could have a word.

For reference, the platform displays have 3 lines of text. The first line shows the destination and arrival time of the next train. The second line scrolls the names of the stations that train will call at. The third line scrolls the destination and arrival times of the following 2 trains.

The words 'Highbury & Islington' are too long to fit on one line, so when an ELL train is the next service, 'Highbury & Islington' takes up 2 lines and the third line shows the calling-at stations. Therefore there's no room to show the following services, which is annoying if you're waiting for a London Bridge service and want to know when it's due to arrive.
