Questions
What do I need?
A screen with a web browser and an internet connection: a smart TV’s browser, a streaming stick with a browser, a tablet, or a small computer plugged into the TV. There is nothing to install.
How do I set up a screen?
Open business.departureboard.io/screen on the screen. It shows a six-character code. Type that code into “Pair a screen” on your display’s page, and the board appears within a few seconds. The screen remembers it from then on.
Where do the times come from?
National Rail’s live data, the same source as station boards. The screen reads it every 30 seconds.
What happens if the Wi-Fi drops?
The screen keeps showing the last board with its age. After five minutes without a connection it says so, rather than show times that may be wrong, and it carries on by itself when the connection is back.
Can it switch off when we close?
Yes. Set opening hours and, outside them, the screen shows your venue’s name and the time instead of the board.
We have more than one venue.
One account holds up to 20 displays, each with its own station and settings, all billed together at £4.99 per screen.
How does the free trial work?
Your first screen starts a 7-day trial. You add a card then, and it isn’t charged until the trial ends. Cancel during the trial from the billing page and you pay nothing.
Can I cancel?
Any time, from the billing page. Your screens keep working until the end of the month you’ve paid for.
Does it show arrivals?
Departures only, for now.
