This is a good idea,but the cost is a little on the high side, I suppose it would be something similar to what they have at Weatherspoons pub at BTM▸ . I would have thought you could make up your own,through your phone a little bit cheaper. There was a news item on BBC» points west local news at 06:25am https://ukdepartureboards.co.uk/store/product/desktop-departures/?desktop=true

Things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could.

Yep, the forum map at http://new.passenger.chat/better/map.html - click on the station of interest and you'll get a whole list of what's available. -- serving Coffee ... and train departures!

We have one of these, though from traindepartures.com (which is rather cheaper) not ukdepartureboards.co.uk - I bought it as a present for Mrs F who commutes into Oxford every day.
It's a fun little thing in itself, and genuinely useful in that I'll often glance at it when walking through the house and get a heads-up of any disruption. My main issue with it is that you can either set it to show all departures from a station (e.g. Charlbury), or all departures that subsequently call at another given station (e.g. Charlbury to Oxford), but what I'd really like is for that to flip during the day - so that in the morning it shows Charlbury to Oxford, and in the afternoon it shows Oxford to Charlbury. In theory I could probably code something to reset it every 12 hours but that would require a fresh supply of Round Tuits.

I have my office ukdepartures board alternating between train times at the local station and the upcoming arrivals at my two nearest bus stops.

…but do be aware that the Three Lions is not best known for its train spotting clientele. Maybe Trainspotting. But a good friend of mine is, or at least was, a regular. The bar of the hotel I stayed in last September, in Windermere, had a display indistinguishable from that on the platform of the nearby station.
