Smart bus displays rolled out in Barrow – giving passengers real-time info and a smoother journey

Comments Off on Smart bus displays rolled out in Barrow – giving passengers real-time info and a smoother journey

Passengers in Barrow-upon-Humber are now benefiting from new digital bus displays providing real-time service updates, clearer travel information and improved accessibility.

The screens show live bus arrival times, updates on any delays or diversions, and full timetables – making it easier for residents to plan journeys, stay connected and feel confident using public transport.

Each display also includes text-to-speech audio, supporting people with visual impairments and anyone who prefers spoken information.

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, visited the new display in Barrow alongside ward members and bus users.

He said: “Passengers in Barrow can now get clear, up-to-the-minute information the moment they reach the stop. These smart displays make travelling by bus simpler, more reliable and more accessible for everyone.

“We’re focused on improving the passenger experience and strengthening public transport across all our communities. This technology is a practical step that will help people stay connected – whether getting to work, school, appointments or to see family and friends.”

The Barrow installation forms part of a wider programme that will see 49 digital displays fitted across towns and villages in North Lincolnshire over the coming months, funded through the Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP).

Digital displays are being installed across Scunthorpe, Brigg, Barton-upon-Humber, Epworth, Broughton, Haxey and other locations as part of the first phase of the upgrade.
