To have the automatic display panels you need automatic routing so the system knows the timetable and can match that with trains moving around.

A plan exists to control the entire network from one building in Dublin, and progressively all routes are being transferred over. They need a bigger building so there is a delay there

Cork (Rathpeacon) - Cherry Orchard, Athlone-Portarlington and Limerick - Limerick Junction curve are controlled from one floor, Dundalk - Greystones, Broombridge - Connolly - Docklands, Enfield - Sligo from another floor
Just out of interest how much is it costing it to manually operate the maynooth line and how much could they save by automating it

And how come they only cover broombridge-Connolly-docklands? Could that not be extended to maynooth?
