I can't see there being any problem in running the describer in addition to the fancy, whizzy, new-fangled DMI. I'd suggest it depends on somebody having the will! You would presumably just need something interfacing with the new system, and depending on the description provided, activating one of a number of relays to illuminate a light. It shouldn't cost too much to do, although I suppose that the contractors will charge a small fortune!

Earl's Court Dustrict platforms do have supplementary describers fed from the TrackerNet system, installed before the Olympics.

Upminster Bridge, out in the sticks admittedly, has hardly changed over the years. There are modern gates and ticket machines at the entrance, but the swastica in the tiles of the entrance hall is still there. (At the time the station was built it was a good luck symbol, but the Nazis turned it round and used it as their emblem.) There are two versions of the swastica..... the lucky version as at Upminster Bridge, and it's mirror image, the so-called unlucky swastica. The lucky swastica is used a lot in India today, however for some bizarre reason Hitler chose the unlucky version ! Back on TopicElm Park has hardly changed either at platform level. The small ticket hall has seen the introduction of several different machines and loss of the ticket collectors small cabin that used to be on the right as you walked to the top of the ramp.
I expect many of the outer suburban stations would have witnessed the same minor changes.
