The main departure board does not show every station that trains will be calling, but it does show the departure times and the train numbers - so If need be, match the train number on your ticket to the train number on the board.

There is no direct Metro line between Part-Dieu and Perrache stations - so not only do you have to change lines, making the transfer at Charpennes Charles-Hernu station - the metro is also a roundabout route. Charpennes Charles-Hernu is to the north of Part-Dieu, but Perrache is actually located to the west - hence, when no train is due, using the tram is a better option than taking the metro.
If no trains for Perrache are departing from Part-Dieu within the next 25 - 30mins, it will be quicker to take the tram, rather than waiting for a train.
