Station name labels
How station names and platform chips shrink with width while copy, find, and screen readers keep the full name.
No-compromise station name display
Labels can abbreviate or break across two lines when width is tight. Find, copy, and screen readers still get the real name.
Find
Browser find still matches the full station name when the on-screen label is abbreviated or wrapped.
Copy
Paste gets the complete name. No abbreviations, soft breaks, or leftover line splits.
Screen readers
Assistive tech always hears the full name in context, never a shortened or cryptic version.
