Do any stations provide posters showing the last trains on Christmas Eve to all (or local and major) direct destinations?

I noticed a TOC specific timetable poster at WVH today but thought something detailing just the last trains to different locations would be more useful.

Easy enough to check on any ticket selling website if you have a specific query.

Or are you worried about little old ladies who don't have Internet access?

I'm sure I've seen one at Hull before in the past for all major destinations.

Although this is not National Rail related... I found it interesting to see that Croydon Tramlink have posters detailing the tram times from 24/12/12 to 01/01/13 (or thereabouts) on the doors of their stock.

Yes - all SWT stations should have a timetable extract for thier local line and IIRC major stations have a "last train to" poster.

EMT have last train posters at some stations which include destinations only served by XC on them however the average passenger may presume this is only EMT services as they are in EMT coulers

Southern have them at CLJ.

Lists the times of last trains from VIC, CLJ, BTN, GTW and SOU I think.

Most last Trains on Xmas Eve, Leave the starting station (in my Case Mcr Piccadilly) between 19.00-20.30 as they like to have all the trains on Depots etc. before Midnight

Any posters between Wolves and Birmingham would now be wrong anyway as LM have cancelled the last service of the day.

The last train from Liverpool Street is the 2325 to Stansted arriving 0012. This then forms the 0030 Stansted - Tottenham Hale arriving 0103 (with a bus connection to Liverpool Street). I wonder if this is the latest train anywhere on the network tonight?

A, presumably unofficial, sign was stuck up around Bristol Parkway station today detailing the last train times. This included things such as "Change at BTM" [sic.]
