I can't remember if the rep said Kingsland would get three, or four GPS displays per platform. PIDs for the trains have certainly been weird, with the ones on board appearing quite disjointed. Passengers don't want to see "GPS Initializing"!!! If they can't replace that with useful information about where the train is going, they could at least change it to "Welcome Aboard".

ARTA have been talking about it forever. You would expect it would be really simple for the train system, as it must be far easier to track a train than the many buses that currently use the system.
