The only dreadful thing about the Class 700 PIS displays is I wish the destination above the cab was bigger as it's too small at the moment.I hope this refresh does not ruin the current PIS system on the 377 units.
Compared to the SWR Desiro units and the dreadful external displays on the class 700, the current 377 external and internal PIS is clear, concise and reasonably reliable.
Apart from that, both internal and external PIS screens on the Class 700s are clear, pretty reliable and display information such as special notices, toilets in use, how busy the service is, service information eg Tube lines etc all together so much more advanced then the Class 377s which show their age daily.
And yes I use both types on a daily basis, the only plus point of the 377s/387s (377/6s and 377/7s) is power sockets at all seats whereas on the Class 700 it's only in 1st Class.
