arrival board

Terminal time display

An arrival board is a display showing incoming flights, trains, or buses at a transportation hub.

It typically lists vehicle numbers, origins, scheduled and actual times, and status updates like "on time" or "delayed." Digital boards have largely replaced the mechanical split-flap displays that once clattered through updates: I checked the arrival board to see if her flight had landed.
