The destination boards on Melbourne's trains have all possible curren
destinations, as well as a few previous and a few future ones. They actually
have "Deer Park West", "Colstream", "Baxter" and some even have "East
Doncaster". It's cheaper to leave destionations on than remove them (I can't
help laughing sometimes when a train comes through my station showing "East
Doncaster")
