This mod makes various improvements to the PIS on the Class 801 included in TSW4's ECML Peterborough - Doncaster to bring it a lot closer the the real life version of the system. This includes making a large amount of smaller changes to the interior and exterior displays of the train such as disabling all the scroling for segments that are static in real life and adjusting the speed and frequency of the scrolling on sections that are intended to be scrolling.
I have also completely remade the text that is displayed on the interior displays using videos of the real displays to accurately represent the phrasing used on the real trains. More information such as notices about the CCTV or the well-known "See it. Say it. Sorted" message has also been added to the interior displays in the appropriate place as part of this.
A comprehensive list of changes can be found below:
- Increases the brightness of both screens to better match reality, making it much easier to see them during the day
- Exterior PIS:
- Disables the scrolling on the Destination and Next Station segments
- Adds a representation of the Departure Time segment to fill the space
- Various changes to the Calling At segment:
- "And" is replaced with an "&" as per reality
- Pause after the list has finished significantly reduced
- Speed of scrolling slowed down
- Enabled the text to scroll in from blank
- Interior PIS:
- Overhauls the text displayed based on real-life references:
- Spaces out the different segments so that they aren't displayed in direct succession
- Adds safety notices for the CCTV and BTP
- Changes some words and phrasings
- Increases the maximum length of the text that can be displayed to support the new text
- Overhauls the text displayed based on real-life references:

Known Issues
While the font for the Class 801 is very extensive and all characters used in the mod are supported, the "&" for the Interior Font is significantly smaller than all other characters in the list, this does look strange while the destinations are being displayed. This might be fixed in a future update if the demand is there.

Do you think you could possibly disable scrolling on the top line of the Rotem PIS on the coaches and cab car? The top line scrolls in game even though none of it should actually scroll.
Yup something I can look into, should be a fairly easy fix.
Took me long enough, but a mod that does this is now released:

Good job !
Has anyone had any issues yet with this mod? I'm thinking of applying the AssetRegistry "hack" to my mods too until TSW4 is fully mod-compatible again.
Appears the update this week has broken this mod for me.
It appears this mod is currently causing the game to crash since the 8th of febuary update
Thanks! I'll have a look into it and see what could be causing this.
Is there anyway to keep cab door open while driving so you can hear track and running noise ?
will this work on tsw5?
Yes
Please ignore v1.1 of this mod for now, it is redundant since v1.2 exists. Having issues taking it down currently :)
Good work! If it's doable, it'd be a good idea to look at the ScotRail Class 170 as the internal PIS is not realistic and not readable from a distance inside the carriages.
Good shout! Forgot about the 170, I'll look into that when I get a chance.
Appreciate it! It'd be good to see the actual functioning Bombardier PIS and maybe an option to set it to say 'Turbostar Class 170' like it does by default in real life when the train starts up. If it's all doable of course, good luck with it!
The Class 170 takes the destinations from the individual route it's on, if put on Frankfurt - Fulda for example it could display Frankfurt Hbf, so to add "Bombardier Class 170" that'd need adding to the list for any route you'd want it to display that on. Possible, but would need to be done as part of a larger mod to a route's Station Directory.
Thanks for sharing! Hope it all goes well!
Thanks so much, I've installed it and looks better! I've left some feedback on the other page for you!

i am the demand
Hi the demand, I'm Aran!
Noted though, I'll keep that in mind. Definitely something I want to do when I get a chance to.
