# Welcome

This project is an angular website designed to present the UK and German train departures in a way similar to the led boards you find in stations accross the UK. For more info please see

2. To change the amount of boards on the screen just add a number to the end. E.g http://your-site.com/EUS/12

3. To view a platform style board just modify the url with a prefix of 'singleboard'. E.g http://your-site.com/singleboard/EUS
