Its worth adding that most busy panels will have a simplifier printed out showing the order of planned movements (similar to the F8 function but with bespoke notes) or a station working book and this is now signallers keep track of whats MEANT to be happening.
At Bristol we used to have one of the CIS screens, and the station panel Signalman would often work off that rather than the printed simplifier.

It was still there when I visited.

Reminds me of a bus I rode on down here in Poole at the end of last year. A computer glitch caused the display to show: “Tue 07-08-35 11:34” (yup, that’s 2035!).
