The next train display employed by First Great Western at all the stations it manages, this is taken at Bristol Temple Meads.<BR>
The first line shows the due time and destination of the next train to arrive at the platform, and the time it is expected - A cross-country service such as this one is not always on time!<BR>
The second line lists the stations the first train will be calling at en-route to its destination, and then any other information about the train - e.g. if it is traveling in reverse formation or which carriages are designated as 'quiet carriages'.<BR>
The third line shows the same information as the first line, but alternates between the second and third trains due at the platform.<BR>
Finally at the bottom the current time is displayed.
