So, think about it:  That driving cab would not have been going to Liverpool via Regents Park.  It may
have come FROM Liverpool via Regents Park, but it would have been on the back of the train going
there.  Which means:  Indicator Control panel at the OTHER end of the train was working, and the
destination was set to go to Liverpool.  When the driver changed ends at Liverpool, the indicator at
THAT end was defective and couldn't be changed.  They are supposed to automatically blank when a driver
cuts in, but many of them don't.
