Good design IMO, nice and easy to read.

Not as good as the old one though!

 

[Simming]

sooner use thetrainline, alot easier to work, I fond anyway.

 

[Mojo]

Wow, just under 3 hours ahead of schedule as well.
ADVERTS! No thanks, I'll stick with RailPlanner, Trainline (for fares) and Traveline Scotland!

 

[David]

Wow, just under 3 hours ahead of schedule as well.

You mean to say something like this isn't 6 weeks late! hock:

 

[Dave A]

I'd love to know who and how much they paid for this very simple design :roll:

Yea, they said that the site would be closed 11pm on the 30th 'til 3am on the 31st originally.
Though, they haven't sorted it out properly yet, scroll down to the bottom of the LDBs: http://www.livedepartureboards.co.uk/ldb/sumdep.aspx?T=BRI

Whilst in general the design is better than previously, I do feel that the live departure boards section is now worse. It just seems cluttered and not very nice..

 

[Mojo]

Yea, I agree with you there. The old-style still exists on Virgin Trains' website though: http://www.livedepartureboards.co.uk/virgintrains/summary.aspx?T=BPW and will work with all stations, not just VT-served ones.
Hmm, I wonder what "Accessible departure boards" are. Whatever they are, I am pleased to announce that my local station has them

Probably normal departure boards located in an accessible area.

SITE ERROR
Sorry but we are experiencing difficulties.
We've just gone through a major redesign, and are experiencing some difficulties with parts of the site. Please be patient while we fix the problem.


the site wont even load!

 

[Mojo]

Yea, I just tried to get Arriva Trains Wales' number and none of the TOC pages would even load. Luckily Google still has the old design in its cache.

 

[richa2002]

Nothing wrong with the old design. :?

 

[tramboy]

...especially as the new one isn't yet working fully.

But it looks a lot better...although i'm hoping it is not change for changes sake.

Cheers

Dave

 

[Max]

It reminds me of the 'Deutsch Bahn' website. Still not as good though.

 

[Jordy]

I'm still having problems with the LDBs :x

The old design did look a bit dated though.
