Euston Station in London has become the first in the country to provide passenger information in British Sign Language (BSL).

From Wednesday, 2 June, passengers can use ten touchscreens situated around the station to get up-to-date travel information in BSL. This number will be doubled to 20 by the end of the year. There will also be a large screen next to the arrivals and departures boards on the main concourse.

Network Rail invested 1.1 million GBP (1.28 million euros | 1.55 million USD) into the development of the software and the installation of the screens.

This accessibility improvement has been developed together with BSL company Clarion UK. Its interpreters have created a library of standard messages. However, its staff will also provide passengers with signed information during disruption events, to help passengers with hearing impairments get up-to-date information as situations evolve.

Messages can be turned into British Sign Language and uploaded directly to the screens using 4G within one hour.
