At the Western Railway in India, commuters will soon see new LED screens at suburban stations with improved clarity and with speakers attached.

A sample LED screen has already been installed at Andheri station. If it works out, similar LED screens will be seen at other stations soon.

Three years ago, LCD screens were installed at stations by SV Media Private Ltd, but they were removed afterwards.

Last year, 90 LCD screens were installed near the booking office windows, but these are mute and rather small in size.

Now, WR has opted for the better LED screens. Vijay Vira, director of SV Media, commented, “This technology is state-of-the-art. Visibility on screens is poor especially when there is daylight, but in LED TVs clarity is more both in day and night. In sunlight, visibility does not get poorer. I believe people will like it.” “We will display entertainment programmes and railway messages for commuters,” he added.
