Trivia: Station amenities that have departure boards

[LOL The Irony]

What amenities (such as pubs and cafes) on or near stations do you know of that feature departure boards for the station/s they serve?

Wetherspoons at Cannon Street.

The Wetherspoons out the back of Temple Meads - and it’s not even on the station

 

[zwk500]

Parcel Yard at King's Cross also has a departure board.

Cafê au Lait (the cafe opposite the entrance to Bath Spa station) had a departure board last time I was in there a couple of years ago.

The First U1 buses that operate between Oldfield Park and the University of Bath have a departure board page that appears on the in-bus displays when the bus is due to stop at Dorcester Street.

The cafe/bar on Keighley station had a departure screen under its previous management. Not sure whether it still does following takeover by the K&WVR.

 

[trebor79]

The pub at Glasgow Central.

The passenger information screens on Reading buses switch (or at least used to switch - I have taken up 'active travel' since the start of the pandemic and now when possible walk into the town so I am not aware of the current situation) from advertisements and bus information to the Reading station departure screens when they were within a couple of hundred meters from the station on an inbound service.

Doric Arch pub at Euston has a departures screen (great pub)...

 

[Shotton]

The Penny Pot Cafe at Edale has an LED departure board for the station.

I believe it's this one https://ukdepartureboards.co.uk/store/product/large-led-departure-board/

 

[Winthorpe]

Wigan Central bar has boards showing departures at the nearby Wallgate and North Western stations.

It's a cracking pub too

 

[AlbertBeale]

I think at lest one of the TfL Red Arrow bus routes serving Waterloo can include - on an internal display giving time to coming stops - information about a few of the pending departures from Waterloo (as well as Underground Line status updates).

OK - not a station amenity as such, but perhaps in the spirit of this thread.

Wetherspoons in Lime Street Station have departure boards. St Johns Market in Liverpool have screens for Liverpool Central departures.

 

[birchesgreen]

Pumpkin in Crewe station (well one has, i assume both have them!)

 

[robert thomas]

Prince of Wales Didcot

The Great Western Hotel opposite Swindon station also has a screen showing train departure times.

 

[sjm93]

The Beer House - Waterloo

 

[Ibex]

I'm pretty sure Nando's and Cafe Nero outside Euston have departure boards. The Knights Templar Spoons outside Bristol Temple Meads has a web based departure board (Tiger) above the bar. The shopping centre in Watford (it was Intu at the time) had a board that interleaved between Watford Junction and Watford High Street departures.

All this bus talk has reminded me that all the new bus shelters along London Road in Manchester show the next about 10 departures from Piccadilly.

Do you mean bus departures or train departures? Arguably bus departures would be more useful at the bus stop!

I don't know if the pub in Edinburgh Waverley station is still called the Nor Loch ( i have not been to Scotland for a couple of years because of Sturgeon's stance on Covid) but it used to have departure information.

 

[Mag_seven]

The Mad Bishop and Bear (Paddington)

 

[wellhouse]

The cafe/bar on Keighley station had a departure screen under its previous management. Not sure whether it still does following takeover by the K&WVR.

I was in there just before Covid and it was being configured to display both National Rail and K&WVR departures

 

[Mordac]

Same, looking forward to going soon now that the masks are finally gone!

The Beer House - Waterloo

That one has now passed into history. The Beer House bit the dust due to Covid.

 

[urbophile]

Wetherspoons in Lime Street Station have departure boards. St Johns Market in Liverpool have screens for Liverpool Central departures.

As does the Playhouse Theatre.

 

[Iskra]

Spoons at Leeds station at least used to have them.

Also the Costa Coffee at Wakefield Westgate has an internal departure screen, which is useful since the main departure boards are above it on the wall outside. I think the Costa at Lancaster had one too.

 

[aliceh]

In Southampton, IKEA has a departure board for Southampton Central near the exit.

 

[Cherry_Picker]

The Bullring in Birmingham has departure boards for New Street and Moor Street in several locations around the site.

 

[Ash Bridge]

TGI Fridays and Carluccios in Manchester Piccadilly Station definitely had them on the last occasions that I’ve visited.
