Every platform, every departure.
Live departure boards, platform routing, service-disruption alerts and multi-language wayfinding across rail, bus, tram and metro stations.
Stations process millions of journeys a week. Every screen decides whether someone makes their train.
A mainline rail station, metro terminal or bus interchange serves millions of passengers weekly — commuter rush-hours, international-traveller arrivals, disrupted-service reroutings, engineering-works diversions. Static boards and printed posters can't keep up. Hangar.Media integrates with National Rail Enquiries (UK), Amtrak (US), DB Navigator (Germany), SNCF Connect (France), metro and bus systems for live departures, platform-assignment, service-status, and disruption messaging. Bridge-override emergency broadcast in under 10 seconds for security incidents and severe-weather events.
Built for how stations actually run.
The capabilities that matter in this sector — concrete, specific, and backed by the integrations your team already uses.
14:32 London Euston. Platform 5. On time.
Station concourse, platform and entrance departure boards surface live train, bus, metro or tram departure data with sub-minute platform-change propagation. Delayed services update with estimated-delay information; cancellations include alternative-route suggestions; on-time services show platform-confirmed status. Multi-language cycling for stations serving international traffic.
Platform change at 14:30 reaches every board in the station by 14:31.

Strike day. Saturday engineering. Every alternative visible.
Service disruption is station-life reality — strike days, engineering works, signal failures, severe-weather impacts. Hangar.Media surfaces disruption information across concourse, platform and entrance screens with alternative-route suggestions (different line, rail-replacement-bus, diversion-via alternative-station). Disruption content updates within seconds of operational-status changes.
Engineering-works Saturday doesn't mean passengers stand on platforms confused.
- Rail-industry disruption-feed integration
- Alternative-route suggestions with walk-time estimation
- Rail-replacement-bus schedule and pickup-point information

Kings Cross. London Victoria. Gare du Nord. In every tourist's language.
International-tourist destinations (London-Kings-Cross, Paris-Gare-du-Nord, Barcelona-Sants, Rome-Termini) serve passengers in dozens of languages. Departure boards cycle through top-5 visitor languages; wayfinding totems offer 12+ language selection; emergency-messaging is mandatory in the primary traveller-language mix. Tourist-visitor orientation improves when signage speaks the tourist's language.
International tourists find their train without asking a stranger for help.
- 12+ language support with destination-demographic defaults
- Departure-board cycling through top-5 visitor languages
- Wayfinding totem language selection
- Emergency-messaging in primary-traveller language mix
Coffee before the 07:42. Breakfast at platform 3.
Station-retail concessions (coffee shops, food-to-go, convenience) benefit from signage promoting their offers against specific train-departure windows. Concourse screens adjacent to retail-operators surface 'coffee before the 07:42 (8 minutes to boarding)' content. Station operators also handle concourse advertising-sponsor rotation with contracted-impression delivery for concession-renewal conversations.
Commuters grab coffee with their train departure in mind. Station F&B revenue climbs.
- Station-retail POS integration (Toast, Square, Oracle MICROS)
- Departure-window-aware promotion (coffee before 07:42)
- Concourse advertising-sponsor rotation with contracted-impression tracking
- Post-journey retail promotion (food-to-go, evening meal)

Which rail and transit systems do you integrate with?
UK: National Rail Enquiries (via Darwin API), Transport for London (TfL API for tube / bus / overground / DLR), individual TOCs (GWR, LNER, Avanti, Northern). US: Amtrak, MBTA, New York MTA, Chicago Metra. Europe: Deutsche Bahn (DB), SNCF Connect (France), Renfe (Spain), Trenitalia. Metro systems globally via vendor-specific or custom API. Departure-data sub-minute propagation is standard.
How does the station handle Saturday engineering-works disruption?
Disruption-feed integration pulls planned-engineering-work schedules 4-8 weeks ahead, surfacing pre-warning on relevant departure screens 2 weeks before the affected weekend. On the day, real-time disruption content covers rail-replacement-bus schedules, alternative-route suggestions, pickup-point wayfinding and ticket-acceptance information for other-operator alternatives. Updates propagate within seconds of operational-status changes.
How do you handle international-traveller language support?
Major-tourist-destination stations (Kings Cross, Victoria, Paris-Gare-du-Nord, Rome-Termini) have high international-traveller percentages. Per-station language-defaults are configured from visitor-demographic data — London stations might default to EN + FR + DE + IT + ES + ZH + JA; Barcelona-Sants might default to ES + CA + EN + FR + DE. Multi-language cycling on departure boards and wayfinding-totem language selection covers 12+ languages.
Pricing for a station?
£5 per screen per month. A local commuter station with 10 screens pays £50 per month. A major mainline station (Kings Cross-scale) with 200 screens pays £1,000 per month. A metro network operator with 50 stations averaging 15 screens per station pays £3,750 per month. Every rail-system integration, accessibility-routing, emergency-broadcast and retail-concession feature included.
