So close, and yet...

Picture of panel inside train bathroom indicating whether door is locked, using lit symbols of locked and unlocked padlocks, about 1.5x1.5in. Print and braille text reading "door locked/unlocked when lit" point at the correct lights.

Bathroom in train from Stratford to London. Can you tell what's missing?

(Deleted last comments because having two was silly - I guessed, then corrected myself because I'd been looking for something physically missing.)

Hmm, thinking on it - I keep being told "Most people who are legally blind can see something" so I wondered if the intent was for people who are unable to see enough to read small lettering, but would be able to pick up on light vs dark?

...or am I giving them too much credit?

I think probably too much credit. I know a guy who's blind from birth, genetically, as is his son, and they'd not be able to see the lights at all.

*nods* Yeah, I figured I was probably assuming way too much sense there.
