TIMS screen (Train Information Management System)

---------------- capture ecran -----------

The only screen available is the TIMS screen.

At the top you'll find the current time, the current speed and the distance covered from the departure station.

This is followed by information on the train, the current station and the next 4 stations (which represents the full line ^^): station name, arrival time and departure time.

Finally, there's the name of the next station where the train will stop, and the arrival time, if there is one.
