Field notes
The page says the 320 × 80 mm board uses a 128 × 32 pixel amber LED display and can be set to any of 2,500+ National Rail stations. It describes the next departure in full, with calling points scrolling below, while the two subsequent trains take turns; updates are stated to arrive every 10 seconds. A browser demo is also offered, though its sample view asks visitors to enter a station for live departures.
