Durham county council’s new bus station has been renovated to include modern traveller information systems utilising TFT technology and advanced management software, enabling the Council to provide timely passenger information.
In the station Journeo has supplied large summary screens so people can find the service they need
as they arrive, and interactive displays to help visitors with local travel and tourism information.
Further displays above each bay identify the next services to depart, making boarding the correct bus
as straightforward as possible.
All the displays will show live information about bus departures.

Passenger transport operations & information manager for Durham County Council, Ian Jopling, said: “The bus station is at the very heart of the city and these displays will improve the way users connect with the bus network.
“They will give passengers the confidence to make public transport their first choice for travel and further boost the North East’s transport network.
“We believe we are leading the way in the region and demonstrating how passengers can really benefit from technology previously only seen in the largest towns and cities.
“There is nothing like it in the North East, the response from the public has been great and we are already attracting admiring glances from other Councils. We hope to introduce more of this technology soon.”
Achievements and innovations in traveller information systems will be celebrated at the third annual CiTTi Awards, which will be held on 26 November 2024 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
