Here's 3012 and to make matters worse, a despicable act of graffiti! :cry:

Interesting look - will take a bit of getting used to but at least it's fresh and consistent I guess.

But - how the hell can that level of graffiti attack happen in a depot?!

It probably didn't happen in the depot, but I'd be very surprised if it did - the depot is pretty secure.

Hopefully not - I just presumed that seeing as it's in its shiny new paint job which, as far as I know, hasn't been seen on the network yet that it must have happened in the depot.

According to both the Minister and media reports it did happen in the depot. Intruders used bolt cutters to cut open a hole in the fence they then entered the depot and carried out the graffiti. So much for tight security?

Maybe they should electrify the fence when they electrify the depot? ;)

I like the graffiti. Gives it a very "urban" look.

Does the fence have barbed wire or 'Tiger Hoops'? :-/

If they used a universal key it doesn't matter

Here is another "urban look", but this time from neighbouring Croatia…a great majority of local trains are similar and intercity trains are following the trend.

Kind of weird. Croatians haven't been taught Cyrillic for 25 years.

They definitely look a lot better than the ones on the O-Bahn, so well done DPTI. I hope that these get rolled out to more major stops in the city.
Oh great, by this passengers can travel from one place to another with ease. This type of facility should be available in other cities.

I see that it looks like real time updates. So do the buses/DPTI use GPS signals/wifi to automatically send info to the signs?

The new stops have been installed for a while now. Real time travel information has been available for the last few years.

Other Australian cities have had real time stops in place since 2014, but the Adelaide ones look great.

More information below on how the real time data is released and used
