OK time to clear some things up.

What David wrote above--is it called the "Train Describer System" (TDS)
that is actually a Java app under Netscape?

If so is this the system that the plasma screens are hooked up to and
therefore should be accurate enough for stopping pattern and time to
arrive the like to be displayed (since the TDS is connected to track
circuits)?

If i've answered my own questions above, then why do the plasma screen
display system not work according to the Herald, supposedly containing
much less bias than the Terrorgraph???
