Really, if leaving one 1 star review was not enough....
We appreciate all the genuine reviews by people who actually own our products so thank you for those real reviews :)
Thought we better pop down the new Bristol Portway Parkway station.
Why wait on the platform when you can stay sat in your car with a Desktop Departures :D
Would there be much interest in a stand alone virtual departure board subscription for £9.99 including audio announcement support?
No real board is shipped but a virtual version which loads in a browser will have same functionality.

This is where UKDB started 5 years ago! Just one board which could only show red/green/yellow with very basic firmware / no configuration / just one feed hard coded to BPW.
It has come a long way :)

@MakingTracks3
team on the model rail departure boards.
We are working on a commercial version of the firmware which will interface directly with MegaPointsControllers RFID kits so anyone can connect one of our boards with
Check out our destination boards when you visit Making Tracks 3
@ChesterCath
- they show the destinations of our model trains! This one is going to Euston ! We worked with Russell
@RailDepartures
to develop this RFID system.
Reading station platform departure boards have had some sort of firmware update last night. They now show count down min instead of On time, wonder how it will work with delays?
Website running a little slow tonight due to high traffic load, please give it time it will eventually load :) (same for web configuration which runs off same instance)
