18 months later and it looks like this. The screen on the right is the info screen you'd usually see hanging from the ceiling at other stations:

My guess is they opted to stick it on the wall because the platforms are too narrow and the ceilings are too low.

Seems like it would've been a good idea to consider these factors when they were designing the second platform.

Did they just figure out they have low ceilings over the platform area?

In the meantime, station is as chaotic as ever - they really need to clear out the concourse area from loiterers taking up space and slowing foot traffic.

A bit Montrealesque to have to look across the platform for the info screen. They should have made it larger though as there's really no reason to keep it the same standard size here.

I just wish they would have more of those damn things at the turnstiles, before you pay your fare.
