I only recently realised that the "next train out" indicator at Tower Hill (westbound) has been taken out of service. Tourists always seemed to be oblivious to it but once you knew about it it was very handy for knowing whether to get on the left or right hand train - the right hand train being one that terminated in the "bay road".
The dot matrix displays now show which platform the next train out is on, but I wish TfL would remove the old sign if they aren't going to use it.
It was a very simple, low tech solution, using a strip light behind glass - a signing technology that I think must now have been eradicated.
