Many UK rail stations had them into the early to mid 00s. If I'm not misremembering, the boards at London Kings Cross were not moved to different tech until at least 2005. Manchester Piccadilly had them replaced around 2001 (at the time I was passing through there a fair bit, travelling between York & North Wales).
