Station names are case-insensitive and partial matches work — flinders will match Flinders Street. Stop IDs are more reliable if you know them.

Turn any TV into a live train display using a Fire Stick and the Silk Browser. Works brilliantly in Kindle mode.

1

On your Fire Stick, open the Silk Browser (install it free from the Appstore if you don't have it).

2

Navigate to your J-Train URL. Add ?theme=kindle&fullscreen=true to the end for a clean, high-contrast display perfect for TVs.

3

Use the stationNames parameter to pre-load your station so you don't have to configure anything on the TV. Example:

?theme=kindle&fullscreen=true&count=1&stationNames=Flinders Street

4

Bookmark the URL in Silk. On Fire Stick you can pin the Silk Browser to your home screen — it'll open straight to your train board next time.

5

Set your Fire Stick's Display Sleep to "Never" (Settings → Display → Display Sleep) so the board stays on all day.
