Oh man.
What were they thinking when they had this designed?
As a matter of fact this is a quick shot (taken running for a train, so I think I can plead guilty with an explanation for the sheer unfocusness of the picture) of the new Trenitalia [1] timetable.
This is a sheet of paper roughly the size of a small table[2] you usually find exposed on walls [3] in Italian stations, detailing daily departures. A similar one details arrivals.
What you can see on the left is the corner of my newspaper, for comparison.
So: you are in a railway station, more than often you may be in a hurry, or you use the train seldom, have eye issues, language problems, and you have to read through this to find your train and track?
Oh man.

- Should be A0 (841mm x 1189mm), but I could be wrong on this
- They seem to thrive in quite unusual or very crowded, narrow places
