The Next Trains Out Screensaver
The The Next Trains Out screensaver shows a live Swiss departure board from transport.opendata.ch, key-less. Platform is shown as published, sector ranges and all — the detail that tells a passenger which third of a long platform to stand on, and which most departure APIs throw away. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
