Lighter live board updates across all regions
Departure boards in every region now refresh with a small data update instead of reloading the whole page—faster tabs, less work behind the scenes.
What changed
When a board auto-refreshes, your browser now fetches only the latest departures for that station—in the UK, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Japan, and on the London Underground. Station directories, the blog, stats pages, and journey planner shells are also served more efficiently for repeat visits.
Why it matters
Open boards stay snappy as traffic grows, and the service can handle more simultaneous viewers without slowing down—while departure times stay as fresh as before.
Who benefits
Anyone who keeps a departure board open, uses embed boards, or browses station lists and the blog during busy travel periods.
