easyjet - LGW to STN ?!?!?

Sitting at Gatwick tonight and saw the departures board listed an easyjet flight with a destination of Stansted, the departure time given was 16:50. I saw this on the board at about 21:00 making me think it must be a diverted flight? Or am I wrong to assume normal repositioning flights would not get listed on the departures boards?

Positioning, cargo, private, training and other non-pax flights do occasionally turn up on departure boards and on the Ceefax airport arrivals because it seems they rely on some manual intervention with the ATC arrivals computer to remove them or mark them accordingly. Occasionally someone slips up and such flights make it through. It amuses me to spot them on Ceefax.

Especially when the flights are LGW-LHR in the middle of the afternoon.
