Putting these in the Valley will be a good test on just how resilient to punishment this design is.

Are the bus stop PIDs still rolling out. If I recall only Cleveland Station in the Redlands here has the new ones (that I know of anyway)

I wish we could settle on a common standard for how these are presented. Some operators orient the next stops from top to bottom, others do it the other way around so you have to read upwards. (My personal preference is top to bottom as that is how people read English.)

They all should have decent audio as well. The ones installed on BCC buses have reasonable audio and sequence through from top to bottom as I remember. On Clarks and Kinetic buses it starts to get confusing.

But you see, BCC will have a hissy fit if they get told what to do

I saw these new screens at Domestic a few weeks ago and it took a while to make sense of what it was telling me. Both because of the density of the text but also the narrow font. I can see the detail would be comfort for visitors who don’t know the network but can recognise the name of their destination on the screen.
However, it looks like the sort of information board in a place where the station is on multiple train lines or with variable stopping patterns, where passengers need to choose the train which goes their direction or stops at their station. If people interpret it that way, they may spend more time scouring the screens than is really warranted (e.g. looking to see if Ferny Grove appears on the screen).
