With newer and better information screens these days there is less and less of that sort of thing happening as more via's can be put up on main boards than before .

I don't see what's wrong with putting 'local stopping service' under the destination as occurs with the Northern stoppers to Liverpool and Sheffield from Manchester. However, it seems in Yorkshire they prefer the approach of listing the penultimate station. While trains should show the destination, if there's a short turnaround most of the passengers are on the train before the blinds have been changed.
