This board opens on London King's Cross, CRS code KGX. King's Cross is the London end of the East Coast Main Line, with long-distance services towards Yorkshire, north-east England and Scotland as well as regional trains.
Long-distance calling patterns matter here. Signalboarder rolls the next departure's calling points beneath the main row, while the concourse view gives more departures when you need to compare later trains.

Common questions
Is Signalboarder free?
Yes. The hosted departure board has no account, signup or paid tier.
Does Signalboarder store my journeys?
No. Signalboarder has no user database and stores no journey or station history. Your browser can remember a station locally on your own device.
Where do the live departures come from?
Signalboarder's gateway reads National Rail's Darwin live departure data and returns a small, consistent board model to the browser and physical board.
Is there a physical Signalboarder board?
Yes. Signalboarder also runs on a purpose-built ESP32-S3 board with an AMOLED display. The physical board and browser use the same departure model.
How do I run it full screen?
Tap Full screen in the header. The screen stays awake while the board is up. If you don't see the button, add Signalboarder to your home screen instead: it opens in its own window with no browser bars.
