text:
A platform display, destination display or train describer is supplementing the destination sign on arriving trains giving passengers an advance information. Historically they did only show the next destination and sometimes the type of train. In later usage they were replaced by passenger information display systems (PIDS) allowing for real-time passenger information. The first railway stations had only a time table for passenger information. On larger stations the train porters would help pass
