An enormous train departure screen from Euston station now resides in a Margate warehouse, continuously displaying live train updates. This unique setting, part storage facility and part museum, is curated by Jeremy Hosking, a wealthy railway enthusiast. Hosking has invested significantly in various ventures, including trains and a luxury hotel, and is known for his political contributions. His acquisition of the Euston board followed its replacement by Network Rail in 2022, demonstrating his commitment to preserving railway history despite a misunderstanding regarding housing the board.
The enormous screen flickers day and night, telling the times of train services from north London to Manchester Piccadilly, even though it’s now 80 miles from Euston station.
Jeremy Hosking, a multimillionaire asset manager and railway enthusiast, is the new custodian of the former Euston station departure board, reflecting his deep love for trains and significant financial interests.
