Can't be Leighton Buzzard as 11-car AWC services don't call there. I think the calling points are scrolling.
It has to be north of Cheddington and south of Bletchley, so there aren't any other options. However, there's nothing actually wrong with the board in the picture, which was just given as an example layout.

Can't be Watford as P3 and 4 are Overground lines and its not Milton Keynes Central as its listed on calling points.

See my post #61. There's an up service shown as calling at Cheddington and two down services shown as calling at Bletchley. It can only be Leighton Buzzard as that's the only station between those two.

Yes, it's Leighton Buzzard - and ironically although the picture is intended to show a screen working normally as an example it does have an error on it as that confusing 11 car service shown is an 8 car London Midland diagram. Screenshot below from RTT demonstrating this:

Thought it was but another data error with regards to coach formation!

Not strictly a departure board but I spotted this oddity on Southeastern's disruption page:

It's my picture from earlier in this same thread noting the erroneous 11 car service - when it showed up it was a 12 car (triple 350). And yes it's Leighton Buzzard.
