There is a display like this at Circular Quay, for people who want to
get to Central/Redfern on the next available train.  However, apart
from a day or two after it was introduced some years ago, it never
seems to have been used or else it has never worked properly.  Just
like North Sydney, we all dash up and down the stairs if we make the
wrong decision on which platform to choose.
