On the freight thing, you will presumably get the "The next train is not scheduled to stop at this station" warning if you've set it to an appropriate station- for example Mirfield when the Drax Biomass trains go through.
I think these things are best for places like pubs, that are close to railway stations. If you set up a wall with a couple of these on it (with the sound turned off) you can display the trains going in both directions. The same could be done for busses too. For normal people, I'm not sure they are so useful. Does the departure board say "See it! Say it! Sorted!" if you leave the audio on long enough?
Had no idea it supported Ireland! If you visit by the way may I suggest Sutton - Sutton or Euston - Heuston point to point journeys, obviously no railway across the Irish Sea but Irish Rail and Irish Ferries do a thing called SailRail!
Local council (Dundee) missing a lot of real time displays for bus stops now including one near to my house, maybe I should buy one of these to help them out! 😂 But seriously the pub idea mentioned before is great, my local has a board that’s TV sized and I’ve seen IPads used before too!
It would have been nice to see more of the display instead of a quick unlevel flash. Great to hear Display Boards have finally included built-in speakers. They just need to change the power from the side to the centre bottom of the display as that's where the power sockets would be.
I'm tempted to buy one of these for the West Riding pub at Dewsbury station, as it's a real pain being so close to the platform but no way to see the departure boards!
That looks great! I want to get one of those, but they’ll only ship the little one to me here in the states (am an expat). I might have to have it sent to family back home and bring it back here myself.
@@highpath4776 Unfortunately, this system would not work for heritage railways, unless they set up their own timetable broadcasting feed, that Departure Boards UK could tap into. You are probably looking at something like a GPS tracker that would need to be installed in every preserved train, with the drivers needing to enter the headway codes into the electronics. Plus a central computer. Having said that, I think the heritage railways could probably collaborate on the project and have a single central computer that does all the dynamic timetables for different railways across the UK.
Problem with boards ( and its not this makers fault ), is you get a Delayed-Expected (Time) then the delay clears or time is made up and the thing arrives quicker - I would certainly like for next arrival a line saying where the unit actually is. I have missed trains at stations where it said expected 1755 and then it turned up on time at 1738 while I did a coffee break. Can the output (or input data) be recorded for a later playback?
If you think this it is reasonable to price basically what is just a big LED board at this price, you are under such a level of delusion, jeezus christ.
You mean a big LED board, the custom software and online backend that makes it work, and the non-free access to the transport data APIs of every operator it supports. Seems fairly reasonable to me.
Oh the joys of unboxing videos where the presenter hasn't cheated and gone through everything on another one beforehand so as to seamlessly present as if omniscient. Cd. be more focused, might I suggest‽
I'd love to see this made on the continent as well, would love Dutch, French, German or Belgian announcements.

That announcements not going to become annoying if you have it announce every train
I own this one, the largest one, it is absolutely brilliant, I’ve made several videos on it. A brilliant and well worth purchase!

I am definitely going to get this departure board for Christmas and to have it in my bedroom. It looks so incredible.
I thought it was massive at first but it looks so slick and amazing. I’m going to get one for Christmas this year as I always wanted one.
How about a new series: Pointless Destination Boards. Including: Stourbridge Town and Wedgewood
I use the P4 (i.e. large) version which is excellent. I also add weather, and news to be displayed on the third line every 20 minutes.
I'd honestly love to get one in my house one day, would make a great conversation starter for sure!
I'm sure it would!
@VexSG I need IPTV
@@NickBadley hey nick are you going to the final merseyrail class 507 tour

I have one of these on my 21st Birthday list, which is 6 months today.
Fantastic

Point to point idea: Mill Hill (London) - Mill Hill (Blackburn) via Mills Hill (Manchester)
Christmas gifts sorted; and it's not even October!

Hear, Hear! And it would be a nice talking point for the pub too.
Enjoying Nick's Ginger Highlights with that lighting
video released 3mins ago and you commented 2 days ago (bug or early access?)
@@mudchute4dlr Early access. hes a member
@@mudchute4dlr early access
I have the desktop version, I’m planning on getting this one soon
I want it!!!!!

Howth is a very nice train trip from Dublin, would definitely recommend it.
Could also be an opportunity for Sutton - Sutton point to point journey!
Updated 17 seconds ago… I LOVE THIS! :D
God i'd so love to buy one of those if i had the money... They look wicked!
You say you were sent this? How much did it cost; if I’m not being too rude in asking?
Fantastic video sir!
I would get one but their over priced for most people’s budget
The basic model is £300 and the pro £380
Nick you are my favourite youtube
I own that exact same hoody
It would be cool if they made an ibus version.
01:40 The bad boy set up by the Badley boy!
might need to get one
love this
I really want to get one of these depature boards. They would really help me
These would be cool if not for being hundreds of pounds, a fun novelty but by no means worth the cost.
it does look like these may be for some more public places and thus have a use. ( a nearby pub has been suggested by others )
Maybe they are useful for garden and minature railways, should every preserved group have one in its station office too ?
@@highpath4776 Edale station safe has one, or something very similar
@@highpath4776 maybe Swanage Railway could since they are on Realtime trains

Please go on the far north line!!! Or for 30k subs Go from Thurso - Penzance
Could you do stations like Ealing Broadway, where you have both Tube and Rail?
An airport version would get a certain demographic interested
If it connected to flightradar and showed what flight was above me that would be sooo cool
Even better, a domestic version of the old Solari click clack departure board.
I think the website was broken earlier, and I put in my account details, but I couldn't go onto the board configuration

Nick are you going to do the 507s before thay go
I would love to get the desktop version, but it is on the pricier side.
Does it do Heritage railways?
did you move to london yet or not?
Imagine hearing in your house”platform 3 for the 19:15 cross country service to Bristol calling at blah blah blah blah blah blah”
Try putting up some quirky/humourous/sarcastic custom station messages, they don’t have audio but people will think they’re official and genuine.
im so sorry but I need to point this out that it defaults to parkway not temple meads
7:25 You should use it as a xmas decoration
But there won't be many departures to list on Xmas day! 😂
@@Eric_Hunt194 True… Wait,What if I flood the departures?
Damnit. Another £400 bill.
I would do this but I would hack it to show SCR Trains
Pointless journey Video idea : Tattenham Corner to Epsom Downs they're local, 30 mins by walk and not liked by bus let alone train.
Don't really understand why they don't offer a medium sized 25-30cm version, I think it'd be incredibly successful
hi
Your laptop will be dusty.
Under 30 mins gang👇🏾
They are so cool but overpriced , the desk one is 180£
The price is good considering they are handmade by Russell.
@Pbuntu yes
@@PsychicLord okay but I can use a old tablet instead with a live departures website and is free
@AndyTrainRock you should do that for us then
@@AndyTrainRock Of course that is an option, but it does not have the impact of a P4.

Hello early gang
Will you miss the class 507's

Does it do the "see something that does't look right? Text the British Transport Police on 61016. See it. Say it. Sorted." announcements too?
Oh the joys of unboxing videos where the presenter hasn't cheated and gone through everything on another one beforehand so as to seamlessly present as if omniscient.
