Abellio totem trial

In June 2018 Abellio conducted a live information trial using our innovative wireless totem to display up the minute disruption notices. View our video below.

“We’ve trialled a range of different information on L.B. Foster’s mobile totem, including live departure information, wayfinding, station information and video for customers showing the improvement work which is taking place on the railway during this closure. “The feedback from customers and our staff has been really positive and we’re grateful to L.B. Foster for working with us to bring this trial to fruition.”
