Does anyone not find it a disgrace that over 10 years after they were installed, yes over 10 years later these things are still not working and that we may actually see the real-time on the city bus service before we even have a hope of these things working!

A disgrace!

Absolutley.
I really cant see why a basic GPS based system cant be set up in the meantime to relay train locations to the information displays outside the area covered by the newer signalling.
It would be a lot easier to implement than the dublin bus style system as the train can only follow certain routes and stop at certain points.
It may not be perfect but it would certainly fill a gap.
