Good grief. The idea is you only stop the lift if it is going in
your
direction.

How do you know which direction the lift is going it's in a shaft ?

Even you can't be that stupid? But perhaps you can.

When the lift was upgraded a few years ago they did install an arrow
display to show which direction and which was the next floor.

Why does that matter? The lift will stop at your floor if going in your
direction. Or the next time it gets to it, again going in your direction.

But previously there was no way of telling where the lift was
or in which direction it was going unless you were in it.

You dont need to know that. The lift control system obviously knows that.

Teh option was to just get in (with the trolly) and see what happens.

And waste the time of others in the lift. Good call, that.
