This board is used to identify the trains that are leaving and where they area going. The first two columns are the time (hour and minutes), the third column is the destination. The third column from the right is the type of train (EuroStar, TGV, etc.), the second column from the right is the train number, and the last column on the right is the platform that has been assigned (usually 10-20 minutes before the train leaves). The other columns in-between the ones already described help identify the entrance to the platform for the class of seats bought. This board is actually from Gore du Nord in Paris, but is being used as an example here.
