Non-digital platform indicators can be found in the following areas: Elephant & Castle - an illuminated sign at the entrance to the Bakerloo platforms to indicate the first train to depart. This sign is in the style of normal London Underground station signage. Uxbridge - a large light box in the Ticket Hall indicting the first train to depart for each of the Piccadilly and Metropolitan Line. Earl’s Court - light boxes on each platform on the District Line.
