I think that problems with passenger displays are Australia wide... on
platform 2 at Greensborough, If I set a certain signal to proceed, the train
on the PIDS goes over to platform 1 and the next train appears on platform
2's PIDS. Then people come to the ticket window and demand to know where
their train has gone!
