Ooooh, yeah, of course. I thought you meant the station would be
annoying the locals and they'd take action or something.  :-/

But this is exactly what I'm talking about.  There'd be a local hot
spot, but as to how the stations are connected, I'm not sure. I'd be
shocked if the railway doesn't have fibre running along the line
already, if they don't, it could be put in, or perhaps directional links
could be used? 

But I'm talking about an omni sitting on the station, linked (somehow)
into a network which sends out train timetable diffs.

what is it about the man with a hammer seeing a world of nails?   :)
