Does Reading not have those boards listing destinations one by one with the details of the trains which go to each destination?
It does, but they don't provide platform information. And, by the time I'd thought of consulting them to find out the eventual destination of the train, they were on the wrong side of the ticket barriers (or I was).
However, once I'd missed the train I did use them to plot my new route... I don't usually lose my temper, or vent it on unsuspecting inanimate objects, but I did discover that the hinged frames of the timetables make a very satisfying "clang" if you swing them rather more violently than is absolutely necessary.
