Don't see the point of this if it uses average historic data. The first day a train arrives that doesn't match the screens people won't trust it, will it adjust if people are diverted from another route not operating, no, so the days when there is a crush it won't work, pointless. Seen a similar idea with posters at Woking and Surbiton, didn't really help as data wasn't live. Commuters either stand where they know it tends to be less busy, or where they know is by the exit of their destination station.

Well it seems accurate enough on its first day, at least in my experience. I saw it today on my way back from work this evening, and it said the last two carriages are the most empty for my the New Cross train, which is pretty spot. Everyone always rushes to the front. Either way, I doubt people will change they're seating pattern.
