Here in India, to introduce a scrolling message for the Name of the Station in Trains is a Policy Decision ans the Indian Railways do not seem to know that it costs very little.

India is a country with a host of languages needs this service immediately.

There was some talk of having introduced this in some train.

London Underground Alerts

The new update to Google Maps shows you clearly any disruptions on the Underground that are happening at the time you need them most. To view the new London Underground Alerts simply click on a station in a timetable or in the public transport directions results.

As well as adding real-time London Underground service alerts, Google have also included planned engineering works for the weekends in the journey planner as well.

“When planning a trip for the coming weekend, we will show you the relevant subway alerts as part of the directions results. You can plan a trip for the weekend by changing the departure time in the ‘Get directions’ tab. Should there be planned engineering works for your route, you won’t run into any surprises on the day of travel.”
