London's new e-ink bus stop displays

[jaig]

Here is a video I thought you enthusiasts might like demonstrating the new innovative e-ink displays at an increasing number of bus stops in London, this example being Sloane Square Station / Lower Sloane Street. Enjoy the video!!

is there a list anywhere of the locations where these displays are now installed?

No, but I know the first one was installed on Waterloo Bridge, there is also this one in Sloane Square, but I don't know any others. Hope this at least partly helps

Saw some e-ink displays in the Scottish Highlands, looked like they had been there for some time.

It's a good use for them, particularly where a mains hook-up would be an unjustified expense and a small solar device can power them instead.

Interesting - the stops on Waterloo bridge have the most frequent service in London (though not the highest passenger usage) but the bridge is too thin to allow a standard power supply (and thus Countdown signs) to be fitted.

How are the street lamps powered, then?

Presumably there's enough room for power cables but not the transformer and other equipment required to power a bus stop.

I know when I worked for TfL that the only reason the stops on Waterloo Bridge didn't get Countdown signs was because they couldn't be powered.

I'll have a squint at the Waterloo one if its still there.

Don't know how much power a shelter with illumination and Countdown would consume but it can't be enormous. On the other hand I read that solar power isn't quite good enough for a standard RTPI display as specified by many councils.

All rather ironic considering that when nearby Waterloo garage of London General has a full complement of electric buses for the 507/521 it will need a small power station to get them all recharged at night without the surrounding area being plunged into darkness.

In North Somerset there are a number of shelters with Real time screens which are powered by solar panels on the roof
