I run a small bar near a train station and would like to be able to offer the local live rail departures so people can stay here during inevitable delays. It needs to look good/relevant, so I was thinking either an animated split-flap display or a more modern simulated LED display. The brief: I'd like a program that can run on a raspberry pi or similar low-cost computer, capable of displaying live departures from the 1-3 stations of my choice (other stations for connections purposes). Ideally: I'd be able to connect the rpi up to a TV and keyboard. It would boot up and scan for wifi, then prompt for login. It would then load the departure board program and ask which station/stations data should be displayed. It would then switch to displaying the live departures feed and the keyboard could be disconnected permanently. It would display time/date and train departures in a manner in keeping with traditional train station display boards. It would remember the setup details and would only prompt if e.g. the WiFi password changes or some other issue stops it from accurately displaying the departure data.

pretty simple project, i can program a simple script that displays live feed for the trains and have a backend webserver where you can log in and control what wifi to connect to, from what stations to display the departure times of, maybe even play ads or display menu for your bar in set time intervals, feel free to check my profile for past projects and reviews. and text me for more information

I'm an experienced developer with a keen interest in the Raspberry Pi. I have worked on many Pi related projects using various input/output boards and making use of various online APIs. I used to work for Transport for London and can certainly relate to watching departure boards during delays on my commute. A departure board in a bar sounds like a great idea. I generally use the Python language and the PyGame language for graphical displays. There should be a simulated LED style font available. I would be very interested in working with you on your departure board project.

Dear Sir, I would like to present my self as prospective candidate to do your project. I have sound knowledge in Electronic and Computing. Also more impotently I have quite experiences in Raspberry Pi programming and Hardware designing ever since 2015. It is the year I lay my hand on Raspberry Pi. Since then I have done quite number of projects with Raspberry Pi for my self as well as others. I must say your project is quite interesting and bit difficult to do. And I'm very much happy to do it for you. Even though I put completion time as 7 days. Speaking truly and honestly it may take little bit longer.

Hello! Such projects are not uncommon and quite often they are made using Raspberry Pi. It can be done with LED matrix or with LCD screen. An important point in this task is the visual presentation. What information and how it will be displayed. If you know what exactly you want, then this is great. If not, then it is better to hire a specialist which will design UI. The project is not very complicated and I believe that within your budget you can hire a designer and a developer. The most common option is to create an HTML page that will be displayed in full screen mode. You can make an implementation that does not require you to use the keyboard, but in this case you will need to properly configure your router (local network). Please contact me, I will be happy to discuss the project. Thank you for attention!
