Technical Support

The board is unable to connect to your network. Most common reasons for this are..

  • Check for incorrect network password (They are case sensitive)
  • Check the router supports a 2.4ghz network and is on WiFi channel 1 to 6 and any smart channel swapping is disabled.

Here are a couple things to check.

  • ‘Filter out services departing in the next x min’ has not been set to a large value filtering out most services at a busy station.
  • ‘Force on ‘no services screen’ permanently’ is not enabled. This will just force the no service screen. to appear.
  • Check there is at least one platform filter selected.
  • Check ‘Include services with unknown platform’ is enabled.

Press the WIFI reset button for 3 seconds to put the board back into WIFI setup mode. On Desktop Departures this is the little black button at the back. On the Classic it is the black button on the side near the power connector. On the Pro it is the green button on the side near the power connector.

The departure boards take 15-20sec to boot when plugged in. They will have a completely blank screen within this time window. There will be a lit green led on the end cap to indicate the board is receiving power. If you do not see this or the board does not boot after about 60 sec please contact support.

If you are just seeing a spinning icon. Give this guide a go https://ukdepartureboards.co.uk/store/dhcp-error-fix

This warning can be ignored as at this point of the setup the board does not have internet yet.

First make sure you are connected to the ‘DepartureBoard’ Wifi network on the same device. Double check exactly 10.0.0.1:8080 has been typed into the devices browser. Make sure digit zero’s have been used not letter O’s.

Echoing all the other, thoroughly deserved, positive reviews! Went for the medium sized board as a surprise Christmas present for my son. It's fantastic. Really configurable via an intuitive web based app. We did need a bit of support which was provided swiftly and got us up and running with no stress. I was a little nervous about spending quite so much on this but so glad I did. My son loves it and tinkers with the settings. Confident of being brilliantly supported if I need any help in the future.

You asked for my opinion about the desktop dep board I purchased. Well, for the main part it is a nice toy to have. However, I need to ask where the information displayed comes from and by what process it reaches my board. Why am I asking? Well, as of up to now there has been displayed information on a M-F service - and this is Sunday. There have been a few other oddities that I've noticed but I've not looked into them in any detail. There is another 'peculiarity' I've noticed. On ANY service which goes past midnight, none of the stations called at by that train after 2359 appear in the 'Calling at list'. It's a long time since I've taken a late night service, but I feel sure that this doesn't happen on real station boards.

Purchased a classic departure board 12 months ago and loved it ever since, have upgraded to a premium monthly subscription which gives you more scope to try different things with it and have also the Elinor Hamilton voice pack which gives you real time platform announcements, if you’re into railways it’s a must have

I love this. It's mostly a novelty of course but being able to add a news feed does mean I can glance across at what's going on. I'd recommend a sound option for the alarm feature as currently it only flashes the display.

This is an amazing unit, a travel nerd's dream! Besides that, it makes a beautiful piece of wall art. Customer service is top rate, too. Would thoroughly recommend.
