Overall, the design of the new board is a step up from the one in New York’s Penn Station. Because that screen was left unframed, the color bleeds sloppily over the edges. Philadelphia’s screen has the advantage of being neatly contained within a dark metal border. The contrast between the white letters and blue background — Amtrak’s colors — also means you can read the schedule from the far end of the station’s grand waiting room. Unfortunately, the typography lacks the sophistication of the board in Newark’s station, which uses colors and textures to mimic the look of a split-flap board.
