station clock

Terminal time display

A station clock is a large clock installed in a train station, bus terminal, or similar transit hub, designed to be visible from a distance.

Station clocks are built for reliability and synchronized timekeeping—critical when schedules matter.

The term sometimes refers to a style of clock with a distinctive round face and minimal design, even when used decoratively: The café had a vintage station clock on the wall.
