Re: Tempe - Incorrect Signage?

["Daniel Bowen" <dbowen@custard.REMOVE.net.au>]

I'm not familiar with the intricacies of the Sydney network, but it may be
signed that way for simplicity, showing the next station down the line,
whether or not all trains (or even none from that platform) stop at it or
not. Wouldn't people on other platforms (on trains or not) also be able to
see that sign?
