Yes, they point out landmarks and tell you what's at the next stop.
As someone else posted, what Bill saw would probably have been the
ATM section point indicator.
Incidentally, if you check tram timetables at http://www.victrip.vic.gov.au
they show a lot more timepoints than are in the printed timetables. Alas,
they don't show fare sections.
