Metro North Stations: Electronic Signs Lacking

Here's something I've never understood.

I've seen these signs in numerous Metro North stations. I have only seen them display the date. What is the purpose or point?

I'm curious why they don't display the time as well, something that would be very useful especially to the travler, especially when traveling by train.

If I want to take it a step further, what about a platform advisory and train ETA?

Hey Seth. Those signs do occassionally display info, usually if trains are late or if there are track changes. I have seen them work at Fordham, New Rochelle, Katonah, and Stamford, among other places. Hope this helps. One of these signs is actually inside New Rochelle Station.
