The two new stops on the Birmingham Westside extension had these new screens installed from now and now Wednesbury Parkway, Wednesbury Great Western Street and Black Lake have also seen them fitted.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Larger than the original displays which they are replacing they can display the next three departures along with the current time and also the date. Unfortunately, they still aren\u2019t big enough to display the full word Wolverhampton with Wolv\u2019hampton having to be displayed. It will be interested to see what is displayed once the extension to Wolverhampton Railway Station opens with some services heading there and others to the existing terminus at St George\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=32710\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-32710\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-32710\" title=\"1.display-aw\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/1.display-aw-550x412.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=32711\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-32711\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-32711\" title=\"2.display-aw\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2.display-aw-550x412.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32712\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=32712\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-32712\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32712\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-32712\" title=\"3.display-aw\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/3.display-aw-550x237.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"237\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-32712\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Three images showing the new displays at Black Lake.
