Merseyrail wanted to clearly display 3 groups of information all on the same screen. I started from scratch designing the UI to be to be both easy to scan and easy to drill-down into the live data. The boards/screens show:
• Arrivals and deptartures for the assigned station
• Merseyrail's real-time 'trains on time' status and the rolong average from the last 2 hours, along with the national average of these for comparison.
• The current state of both lines and the four major stations along those lines.
