On the London Northwestern Class 350 (all subclasses) , can the destination displays show any/all of the stations served by London Northwestern or just certain ones used for terminating?

I've compiled a list below of destinations I've seen so far but are there any more to add? Thanks.

If they're anything like SWR PIS system, you could probably manual input the station destination. Would mean manual announcements onboard.

It is indeed possible to enter anything you like, though as you say it wouldn't come with automatic on board announcements. Over the years I've seen "The Master Cobbler"*, "Bah Humbug", "Merry Christmas" and "Late again!" (the guard really didn't like me taking a picture of the latter, but I did deliberately crop out the unit number and show him that I had so the chance of identifying him would be tiny). I've also seen "Zzzzzz" and I think "Off to bed" on Voyagers where you can do the same, possibly the same driver/guard/comedian :)

* A nod to "The Master Cutler" to Sheffield and the old loco hauled Northampton "Cobbler" services (Northampton traditionally being famous for boots and shoes), it was on the then 1823 Northampton fast which was the sort of descendent of those services.

My favourite two were :

On the front of a Voyager at New Street when they were new - "This is an all singing all dancing Virgin Voyager Stock Move to sunny Cornwall"

On the side of 350107 when testing in the blue/grey Silverlink/Centro Days "Pinza"

They're completely programmable on the the 350's - we've had them saying RailAdventure when we've been asked to move them before

On an unmodified Desiro with original PIS this might be including destinations England, it's comin home and oh, it's not. Removing the message is easier said than done.

Often the remnants on SWR land ends up with NAN displaying on the boards when another guard tries to override some of the manual messages.

Thanks all. I hadn't realised there would have been so many variations/ programmable options.
