This is really cool!

One thing that always annoys me with those signs is when they try to put too much information on them. You have all of the stops, fine. You then have all of the information about the train splitting which you might well need. But then they start adding information about short platforms etc. It takes several minutes for it all to scroll past. Which is super annoying if you're trying to work out if the train standing there stops at your station.

I know it's a lot less complex, but on the MBTA all of the signs only show next two trains and how long they'll take to arrive. The extra information comes in where each of the displays are.
Open google maps. Drag up. Instant departures info.
