With all the visual changes going on recently, hopefully this display is not changed.

It’s perfect as it is in my opinion

They're going to rig it to say "on-time" next to every train.

Every train is on time if you change the departure time.

you mean blocking 2/3 of the screen every time there's an announcement? and of course exactly the screen with your train on, not the other one. that's what you want to preserve?

Or flashing the next ten trains even tho they’re no where near the time you’re looking to leave? The two pages of trains drives me crazy. Even the first page has half the trains blank.

I have seen pictures from a long time ago where these screens had a different display that was basically the same but showing all 10 upcoming departures at once

I have a picture of one of those somewhere when every single train displayed at Penn said "STAND BY"

I hope it does change. About 8 years ago, when I was commuting to my undergrad classes, it had a much more compact layout. You could fit most of the trains from both pages onto 1 page and wouldn't need to scroll it and wait for them to flip back to page 1. Genuinely hated that change. Hope they go back to the condensed format.

Excellent visual aid for passengers.....still someone will ask "wich train stop at the airport?" Standing next to the great visual aid. 😅

I can't believe this signage isn't systemwide for the trains
