A Unique Station Indicator
I didn’t quite get the picture correct, as the display change was too quick for me.
A Unique Station Indicator
The sign is at Canonbury station and is between the two platforms; 2 and 3. Platform 3 is on the left and takes North London line trains towards Highbury and Islington station and the west, whereas Platform 2 takes East London line trains towards Dalston Junction station and the south.
When I got the camera out. it was showing trains to Clapham Junction station on both platforms. One has since changed to “Via Canada Water” to indicate the direction. I must get a better picture in the future.
I wonder how many places this happens regularly? But with a circular railway like the Overground, it will happen all the time, as half the trains at this station, go to Clapham Junction.
Lost In Leicester
I left the match at half-time and then tried to walk to the station, by reversing the route shown to me by two Leicester supporters. Signage was non-existent near the stadium and the first one I found was this outside the hospital.

Chocolate teapots come to mind. I eventually found this map at the station.

It doesn’t show either the football or rugby stadiums.
Changing At Brussels
Coming back, I changed at Brussels.
The signage is very confusing and resulted in my walking up and down several times before I found the new Channel Terminal, which doesn’t feature on the signs. There was no-one to ask either.
The new terminal was rather poor with only limited sit-down toilets for men and rather tired furniture. Hopefully, it’s just part way through completion.
It was also not improved by the most obese member of the UK Border Force, I’ve ever seen. A real advert for the UK,

This sign made me laugh!

It also reminded me of the limerick.
There was a man called Lime
Who tried to make up a rhyme
Things all went fine
To the very last line
Where he had far far too many words to fit into the space available.
