Is there a place where you can see both northern Line NB departure
board so you can see where the next train to Golders Green will be?

Following the modernisation of the station there is a bank of display
panels in the ticket hall before you reach the ticket gates. This
shows the next 3 departures / waiting times for each platform. You
should be able to see which platform will be served first by an
Edgware branch train.

Good luck trying to get down to the platform in time if the next train
is 1 min away :)

Do-able if it's Charing X branch, not so much if it's City...

Is it like Camden Town where they don't necessarily show the next
train if it's too close? I find it extremely confusing that the
displays on the platform are not consistent when I get there.

Fair point but I've made it from ticket hall to n/b Victoria line (about
the longest distance below ground) and caught a train shown as 2 mins
away on the t/hall display.

Camden Town already has repeaters of the Platform indicators at the
bottom of the escalators and outside the Supervisor's Office. Used them
on many an occasion when hunting a Southbound train.

the track diagram or the list of departures from platforms?

Not sure the track diagram would work simply because it shows train
numbers and they typically give no clue as to which branch is served
south of Camden. Northbound it doesn't matter as platforms are branch
specific.
