Is this for Real Time data purposes perhaps? It really should show a screen stating the bus is terminating and to disembark imo. ---

Sometimes the GCLR depot and some sort of holding / timing stop show up in GTFS too, probably for the same root cause ---

The dot matrix PIDs were out of action at Petrie yesterday. They should be replaced with LED screens with one devoted to bus information Refer to - [https://forum.bettertransportqueensland.org/t/ratlr-forum/470/75?u=verbatim9](https://forum.bettertransportqueensland.org/t/ratlr-forum/470/75) ---

Looks like they’re using Hanover equipment instead of Consat. Good call. ---

> [@On the network](https://forum.bettertransportqueensland.org/t/on-the-network/335/353): > > On a revamped SMU (169) and the auto announcements are one station out of sync. Awkward. Guard is having to cut off & interject. The announcements scrolling on the passenger info screens are cool. No pre-select any more! With the the passenger info screens in the NGR and refurbished 60 sets, I’d prefer if they showed more relevant information about the train. ![A possible onboard train PID](https://d2ncxwic62bt2e.cloudfront.net/original/2X/4/43c0ac5ba09d41587d45d9ca9544a0ceb594272a.png) The above shows a rough draft of what the screen could show instead of ads and campaigns. Edit: the above quote I linked shows the PID in a refurbished 60 set that could be used to show the info (IMG\_5309) (thanks Alex) ---

The engineer at the QTMP visit said yesterday that the new trains will have journey progress along a horizontal line similar to what Melbourne has and the metro in Sydney as well as the metro buses here in Bne. I assume this will be rolled out across all trains in the future, pending space for them… ---

Sort of a hybrid mix of Sydney’s line maps onboard the trains as well as the usual QR map format. ---

Thanks for posting this concept. I would love for the PIDs on the new QTMP trains to resemble this. Some of the text describing interchanges could be changed to match what is done on the line diagrams Translink has recently put up around the network. ---

They’re being installed on 777 stops between Burleigh and OOL. I’ll post pictures once I pass through them tomorrow. ---
