mogwai84 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Seem to only be at certain stops, and only on one side. Slightly strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjones787 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 They're installing 84 screens I believe, which cover 2 everywhere except the island and single line platforms at Malin Bridge, Herdings and Meadowhall. They're just taking time to install, some platforms have screens, some have poles, some have holes and some have holes that have been dug and recovered.

GleadlessLad Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Does anybody know please when the electronic signs at the tram stops will be used to display the intended information about when the next tram's due? These signs went up about 4 months ago but still show the "Real Time Information Coming Soon" & "System Under Test" messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are at least a few on the Meadowhall route that work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not working between Gleadless & Hillsborough though - maybe they're rolling this out in stages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently live info being tested on Meadowhall line, rest should follow soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 The signs that are being tested and working have been confusing at times showing many trams coming in the next hour but only display the next tram briefly in between. They appear to still try different systems of display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilge Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 When will these show reliable information that is worth reading? The posts started being installed on platforms in April 2015. I hope the 'test' of the system will be over soon and it starts being useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apelike Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 One thing I find a bit odd is why they have not installed one on the outbound tram-stop at Ponds Forge and how some have been installed at the wrong end of the platform. Other than that they are useful for telling the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
