Travel Boards Content App

Display UK National Rail and TfL travel information on your Digital Signage screens in a few clicks.

Written by Drew Harding

The Travel Boards content app allows the user to display departure information from UK stations including: National Rail overground, TfL Underground, TfL Bus, TfL River Bus, TfL Tram and TfL Cable Car.

Important note!

When selecting a new station for the first time, there is a five-minute initialisation period. This means, no data will show in the preview on embed (or device) until this period has completed. After the 5 minute period, the station's live data will appear.

Select the Travel Type dropdown:
