Train Arrival Indicator at Euston Station

From London Midland & Scottish Railway Collection. Train arrival indicator at the London & North Western Railway's Euston station, London, about 1905. The board told passengers on which platform the trains were arriving or departing, and whether they were on time or not!

In the early twentieth century railway stations did not have loudspeaker systems, so notice boards in stations were invaluable to passengers and people who were meeting passengers from trains.
