Although the map features real-time departure boards, these are more "dispatcher-facing".
For, uh, aesthetic/RP reasons, there's some demand for a live-data departure board.
Questions that need to be answered for this implementation:
What kind of display are we talking about here? There's at least two I can think of
Arrival vs Departure
General vs Platform (across the entire station/just a single platform)
Platforms: In theory, we could possibly detect platform changes by utilizing the signal in front. This would require a mapping of signal => platform however, which would have to be done manually
Platforms: Do we display passing trains? Not with their name/destination, but rather as a "attention please"
Layout: What is it like? Is it a single page per display? One page with many displays? Configurable? At some point, we might want to investigate whether multiplexing connections could be reasonable if people have multiple connections open to VRT.
Design: What does it look like? Do we try to imitate a real display? Make it somewhat customizable using CSS, so people can roll their own versions?
