  Are these screens really plasma? When I was there a few weeks ago
waiting for a train to Bondi Junction one of the afternoon OST
services came past and the display was showing a message to the effect
the train doesn't stop yet. But 'burnt' into the display was the
normal King Cross etc station names. If it is plasma I never knew it
could burn and burn in so quickly!!
