new timetable screens at Connolly Station

ThomasJ · 15-06-2009, 09:30

At Connolly there are what looks like timetable screens.

They are about the size of an ordinary desktop screen, they are inside what looks like a cupboard and are spread out throughout connolly station.

At the moment the screens are turned on but all that is visable is the desktop.

Does anyone know anything about these and will they be read only or will the customer be able to touch the screen to get more information.

A few of these would be handy at stations like coolmine or clonsilla

It think they might be a replacement for the existing ones which are difficult to see, because they suffer badly from glare.

I have to laugh at the Windows XP desktops they're currently displaying. The cabinets have "Arrivals" or "Departures" printed on them, so I assume that's what they'll be. I don't think they're touch screens, but can't be certain.

The new timetable screens are now in action at the connolly platforms 5/6/7 area (beside the elevator) Am not sure about the other area

Its good to see these around connolly they are needed but they should be down near platforms 6 and 7 and maybe there should be 1 screen for each platform

The current plasma screens are fine when there are only two platforms but are not much good in Connolly. That said they are colour coded, give the trains current location, its ID number, the current time but strangely no platform number

These new displays are not the greatest, all well and good to say train due 22:22 but what is the current time?
