I write this from an ordinary ‘cross country’ IC train in Germany between Leipzig-Hannover.

The in-train display shows all the stations, a map and details of connections including local buses and platforms for the next stop. That includes which side to get down from.

Apart from a larger screen is there a technical reason which prevents the same info in UK?

Discounting a lack of imagination by management I’m assuming readers of this blog would find it advantageous

I thought the TPE system did that, but the last time O used one it didn't.

The KeTech/Axiom system fitted to 185s gives taxi information for each station but totally ignores bus interchange information, which I think is typical rail industry snobbishness when it comes to buses.
