This board opens on Manchester Piccadilly, CRS code MAN. Piccadilly handles local and regional trains across Greater Manchester and northern England, plus inter-city services towards London, Birmingham and beyond.
Through platforms 13 and 14 sit apart from the main train shed, so a platform change can materially affect the walk to a train. Signalboarder keeps the live platform prominent and highlights a delayed or cancelled expectation in red.

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.
